Mill Creek announces overnight Highway 96 stormwater pipe replacement starting next week
Summary
City engineer said construction to replace a stormwater pipe crossing Highway 96 will begin next week, with lane reductions overnight from about 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., five nights a week for three weeks.
The Mill Creek city engineer told the council on March 11 that construction to replace a stormwater pipe crossing Highway 96 will begin next week and will be conducted overnight to limit daytime traffic impacts.
The work will require lane reductions—one lane in each direction—during overnight hours, approximately 9:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., five nights per week for about three weeks, the engineer said. The city does not anticipate full closures but urged motorists to plan accordingly.
Nut graf: The overnight schedule aims to reduce congestion during peak travel times while the city completes a critical stormwater crossing replacement tied to a prior emergency declaration.
Council members thanked staff for scheduling the work overnight to avoid interfering with rush-hour traffic. No formal council action was required at the meeting; the engineer presented the construction timeline as an informational update.
Ending: Residents seeking more details about traffic impacts should monitor city advisories and construction notices; council did not request additional public hearings on the project.
