Stinson Avenue Overlay and Intersection Improvements

Project Description

Construction work for the Stinson Ave. project commenced on March 29, 2021 and will continue into the summer. The project will construct a new compact roundabout at the Rosedale/Stinson intersection, reconstruct the intersection at Grandview/Stinson, pedestrian improvements along Stinson Ave., and a pavement overlay on Stinson from Grandview St. to Rosedale St.

Significant delays are expected in the downtown Gig Harbor corridor. The public is advised to use alternate routes whenever possible. Roadway closures for the project will occur in multiple phases. A map of the "partial" (or southbound or uphill) Stinson Ave. closure and detour for the first phase of the project is shown here and is expected to be in place for approximately one month. This closure will occur between the hours of 7:00am to 5:00pm, Monday thru Friday.

Access to residences and businesses will be maintained at all times.

We appreciate your patience during the construction of this project.
