Trail closure at Chambers Creek Regional Park
Image Courtesy Pierce County The Grandview walking trail along Grandview Drive in University Place is closed to the public through Friday, Oct. 18, according to Pierce County officials. The trail runs between the North Meadow parking area north of Cirque Drive and the entrance to the park at 62nd Street Court West. The planned closure allows for installation of a sewer bypass line necessary for Pierce County's rehabilitation of the sewer pipe along Grandview Drive between Heitman Way and 64th Street West. Wooden barricades are in place at each end of the closed portion of the trail. The barricades have a "Trail Closed Ahead" sign and arrows directing walkers to detour to the sidewalk area paralleling
An artist's rendering of sewer bypass pipe along the Grandview Trail. Grandview Drive. Public Works and Utilities is rehabilitating 9,600 feet of existing 30-inch sewer pipe and about 30 manholes along Grandview Drive to prolong the pipe's life and make it structurally sound. A new pipe liner will be installed and cured in place, which will reduce the need for large road excavations and extended road lane closures. The pipe liner protects the pipe from hydrogen sulfide corrosion. This method was chosen because it was the alternative with the lowest cost and least impact to the public during construction. More information about this project can be found online at co.pierce.wa.us/Grandview.
WSDOT: Puyallup River Bridge inspections ahead Department of Transportation The Washington State Department of Transportation is scheduled to conduct a regularly-scheduled bridge inspection this weekend on the northbound State Route 167 Puyallup River Bridge in Puyallup. Because of the narrow width of the bridge, crews will close the bridge to all traffic from 6 a.m. to noon on Sat., Oct. 12 and Sun., Oct. 13. State Route 167 traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction, and both directions of traffic will be routed over the parallel southbound bridge. Crews will access areas under the bridge deck using an "Under-Bridge Inspection Truck" with a specialized arm that reaches around the bridge railing and below the deck.
