For Immediate Release — January 20, 2023
TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE
PORT TOWNSEND —Water Street between Gaines Street and Sims Way will be temporarily closed
Monday January 23rd through Tuesday January 24th. The street will be closed for paving. Paving
activity requires closure of the road for safety of the traveling public and workers.
Background:
City crews discovered a failing sewer main on Wednesday, December 27, 2022. The location of
the failed sewer main was near the intersection of Water Street and Gaines Street. This sewer
main serves all of Downtown and most of Uptown and thus is an important sewer mainline with
relatively high flows. The sewer main was repaired by Seton Construction as an emergency repair
during the last week of December 2022. Now, weather permitting, the final step to completing
this project is to pave the road.
Location of street closure:
The road closure is located on Water Street between the Wells Fargo Bank access on Gaines
Street and the intersection of Sims Way and Water Street. The area is indicated on the below
map, outlined in red.
