Motorists are advised of lane reductions on Tumwater’s Crosby Boulevard SW and Mottman Road SW, and Waddell Creek Road SW outside the city will be closed and detoured. 

Waddell Creek 

Thurston County Public Works has announced a change in the temporary road closure dates for Waddell Creek Rd SW, stretching from 90th Lane SW to 86th Lane SW right outside Tumwater. 

The rescheduling was due to a delay caused by a storm event that prevented Puget Sound Energy (PSE) from temporarily relocating power lines as planned on June 3.
