Warm weather signals return of crews who will complete the final work on SR-14 project

Unlike other parts of the United States, the Pacific Northwest has welcomed warmer, drier weather in recent weeks. Returning with the climate and time changes are State Route 14 work crews who will finish the $49 million project, which broke ground June 1, 2011.

Equipment hit the road yesterday. Washington State Department of Transportation contractor Tapani Underground Inc. began the process of alternating nighttime closures of Union and Second streets for bridge work.
