DuPont-Steilacoom Road will be expanded from 1 lane in each direction to 2 lanes in each direction, doubling the existing capacity of the road. Wharf Road is the northern limit and Pendleton Avenue is the southern limit.
There will be a future connection to I-5 as part of WSDOT’s improvements along the I-5/JBLM corridor.
State of Washington funds provides $3.9M for this project.
Project expansion is limited to the existing widths of 3 stream culverts and the existing real estate easement from JBLM. Expanding beyond these two limits will increase the cost of the project by 5X and triple the length of time.
