The finishing touches will soon be added to the recently widened intersection of State Route 161/Meridian Avenue and 187th Street East in Puyallup’s South Hill neighborhood.
Through Sunday, June 23, contractor crews working for a private developer will pave, install new signal arms, and install pavement markings.
Work hours are as follows:
Sunday through Thursday: 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each following day;
Friday: 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Saturday.
