The city's Public Works Department is heralding a day of asphalt repairs to shut down a well-traversed crossroads. On Saturday, South 12th Street and Union Avenue will be closed from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Motorists will need to seek alternative routes, as detours will reroute the daily dance of tires and asphalt that typically plays out at this intersection.
According to a recent release on the City of Tacoma's official website, the closure is necessary to conduct vital maintenance. The scheduled work is subject to the moods of the weather, so potential changes in timing could arise. Commuters, bus riders, and local traffic are all advised to plan their travels with this day-long closure in mind.
For those in the community seeking more intel or hoping to voice their concerns, they're directed to contact Project Manager Thomas Adams. Adams can be reached at (253) 591-5495, should there be any questions about the day's disruptions or the work being done.
