Project Description
In the fall of 2019 the City of Arlington placed a temporary traffic signal at the intersection of SR-530 and Smokey Point Boulevard. The city will now be replacing the temporary signal system with a wood pole span wire signal. This span wire signal system will remain as the City continues to work with WSDOT and stakeholders on the long-term solution of the installation of a roundabout. The City is looking to construct the roundabout once funding is secured for the project.
