Traffic delays due to construction on Mullen Road SE coming up

Thurston County Public Works Department is warning about expected traffic delays on Mullen Road Southeast, between Early Spring Drive Southeast and Afflerbaugh Drive Southeast, starting Monday, March 11 through May 13. During this time, a contractor will perform sewer connection and road improvement work along Mullen Road Southeast, according to a news release.

The project will include installing off-site sewer connections, shoulder restoration and a grind and overlay of the existing roadway. To accommodate the construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane in the affected area, with flagging staff on hand to direct vehicles.

Reader boards will be in place along Mullen Road Southeast to inform drivers of the upcoming work and anticipated delays. Commuters are encouraged to allow extra travel time or consider alternate routes during this period.

For additional information regarding lane closures, contact Becky Conn, Thurston County Public Works traffic engineering & operations manager, at becky.conn@co.thurston.wa.us or 360-867-2300.
