Harborview Drive and Stinson Ave Intersection Improvements

The City of Gig Harbor and its contractor, Active Construction Inc. (ACI) are performing improvements to the intersection of Harborview Drive and Stinson Avenue.  This project will be completed in two phases.  The first phase required the relocation of sewer, water, and stormwater pipes and has been completed.  Storm work has been been postponed until next year. The second phase will regrade the intersection and install a new roundabout and associated pedestrian improvements, and storm line tie-ins.   

The current construction work for the first phase of the project has been completed. The City has suspended the project through the winter months beginning November 1, 2021 and construction will commence again for the storm and roadway work, and installation of the roundabout starting on March 1, 2022. All work is weather dependent and these dates are only approximate.

We appreciate your continued patience and understanding as the City works to construct this important capital project.

38th Avenue Improvements Phase 1 Project

Project Description:

The City is working with consultant David Evans and Associates to finalize design work on a capital improvement project along the east side of 38^th Avenue. The limits of this project are from Briarwood Lane to the southerly city limits. The work generally consists of incorporating Low Impact Development Standards (LID) for a bike lane, sidewalk, biofiltration swale, and pedestrian lighting. This project includes the first phase of improvements to provide pedestrian safety in City limits leading to two schools located just outside City limits. A grant from the Department of Ecology reimbursed some of the design costs.

The work will occur in the lane on the east side of 38^th Avenue from Briarwood Lane to Goodman Middle School.  Expect temporary traffic control devices to be in place throughout the summer.

Project Schedule

• The work during the next three weeks beginning October 25, will consist of placing drainage structures and landscape work.  Some of this work will impact travel in the northbound lane. Flaggers will temporarily direct traffic for alternating use of the southbound lane during daylight hours on November 1 thru November 5.
• Sidewalk at the intersection of Briarwood Lane and 38th Avenue is temporarily closed.
• Construction is anticipated being completed in November with the exception of street lighting and railing due to the delays in material availability.
