Lockwood Road Closure Extended

Personally, I don’t know why anyone would ever want to leave Kenmore. However, if for some strange reason you are planning on leaving, and you were thinking of driving Lockwood Road to the north to do so, you’re going to have to wait a little while longer.

Lockwood Road: Still Closed

The original road closure notices that were mailed out stated that the road would be closed “throughout the summer until school reopens in the fall,” which is just two days from now on September 2nd. This date was also posted on the orange construction road closure signs.

However, the orange construction signs have now been updated with a new date: September 30. The Snohomish County Public Works website is even less optimistic, putting the completion at October 30 (although the page for this specific project states that the road will re-open “approximately the first week in October”).

So for all of you that are really excited to drive on the new and improved Lockwood Road, you’re going to have to delay that gratification just a bit.

It is also worth noting that in 2011 Snohomish County plans to “improve” the intersection of Lockwood Road Carter Road by turning the existing four-way stop into a full-fledged roundabout. Clearly this is some strange usage of the word “improve” with which I’m not familiar.
