Construction continues on the Smith/Hannegan Intersection Improvement Project. The intersection is now fully closed 24 hours daily through Wednesday, August 7. This is an active construction site with highly variable ground conditions; please do not attempt to move or go around the barricades. Going around a “road closed to thru traffic” barricade is illegal and a ticketable offense.
Posted detours for roadway users are:
- 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.
Detour information is also available on the Whatcom County Travel Planner. Area residents should expect a temporary influx of traffic on streets around the project site.
