BELLINGHAM, Wash. — A few upcoming traffic items for county drivers:
The Whatcom Chief will suspend runs to Lummi Island mid-day from 10:10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday for terminal inspection and maintenance at both ends of the run.
A lane closure is planned for this Wednesday on the north side of the James Street/ Orchard intersection as the I-5 underpass project in that area kicks into gear.
Next week, WSDOT will begin replacement two culverts under Interstate 5 and State Route 11 in south Bellingham that the agency says have blocked salmon and other fish from traveling upstream for years.
The 18-month project will mean intermittent lane closures and detours for people who travel through that area.
Also next week, the State and Ellis bridge replacement project begins in Bellingham with detours to reroute traffic to Ohio Street, Cornwall Avenue, and York Street.
