Construction of New Compact Roundabout on Portal Way Begins July 30th

Please be advised that construction of a compact roundabout at Portal Way and I-5 Northbound Exit 263 will begin on Monday, July 30, 2018.  During the first couple weeks of work, drivers should expect impacts on Portal Way as crews widen the intersection. Flaggers will be on hand to direct traffic through the construction zone.

Please choose alternate routes if possible. Thank you for your patience.

The final part of this project will require that both the Northbound on and off ramps to and from Interstate 5 be closed for a period of up to 5 days starting in mid-August.  During the closure period, drivers will be detoured.  More information will be released next week with those closure dates.

If you have questions regarding this notice, please contact the Ferndale Public Works Department at (360) 384-4006.
