One lane on Bucklin Hill Road to be closed

Published 12:32 pm Friday, March 28, 2014

The inside east-bound lane of Buckland Hill Road from Silverdale Way to Blaine Avenue will be closed to traffic beginning March 31 to June 30.

The closure is necessary due to the placement of new waterlines in the area of the Bucklin Hill Bridge and Clear Creek.

According to Morgan Johnson, general manager of the Silverdale Water District, the closure will be 24 hours a day, although the road work will take place during evening and night hours.

Traffic will be able to proceed through the area in both directions, he said, but the one east-bound lane will be closed.

He said all intersections will remain open and there will be places set aside to allow access to all businesses in the area.

Installation of water lines and a reclaimed water main is on-going in the area. Construction will take place in the evening from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday. Stan Palmer Construction is the contractor.
