Residents and commuters in Tacoma should brace for upcoming disruptions as South Pine Street undergoes scheduled maintenance. According to an announcement by the City of Tacoma, the roadway between South 47th and South 56th streets will close in phases from February 10 through 28, affecting daily traffic from 8 AM to 5 PM.

The closures are part of the broader Residential Street Restoration Program aimed at keeping the city's streets in shipshape. Anyone planning to travel through the area during this period should plan alternate routes or allow for extra travel time. Despite the inconvenience, the maintenance work will ultimately lead to smoother, safer roads for the Tacoma community. Residents or, those with questions about the program, have been directed to contact Jeff Maki at (253) 591-5495 for more details.

Notably, the maintenance schedule is dependent on the weather, which could potentially shift the planned roadwork timings. This is a common contingency for outdoor works and the city will likely update the public if changes occur. Keeping an eye on the city’s official channels or reaching out to the program's contacts could provide the most current information for those affected.
