Construction continues on the Smith/Hannegan Intersection Improvement Project. The intersection is now closed 24 hours daily through Wednesday, August 7. The traveling public has no access through the intersection, and a detour route is in place. Signs and barricades are posted around the work zone. This is an active construction site; please do not attempt to move or go around the barricades.
Signed detours are posted around the closure for east/west and north/south traffic:
- East/west travelers on E. Smith can use the Guide Meridian, Axton Road, and Starry Road.
- Northbound travelers on Hannegan can use Kelly Road, the Guide Meridian, and Axton Road.
- Southbound travelers on Hannegan can use Axton Road, the Guide Meridian, and Bakerview Road.
- Semi-trucks should avoid this area and use state routes like SR-539, SR-542, and SR-544.
The detours are also highlighted on the Whatcom County Travel Planner. Area residents should expect a temporary influx of traffic on through streets around the project site.
