Puyallup road to close for two-month-long sewer project
A Puyallup road will be closed for two months starting later this week.
According to an X post from the city of Puyallup, South Fruitland Avenue between Pioneer Avenue and Seventh Avenue Southwest will be closed starting on June 17. The closure will allow crews work on a sewer-line extension project.
Traffic will be reduced to a single lane between Seventh Avenue Southwest and Ninth Avenue Southwest, the post said, with flaggers directing traffic.
“This closure is necessary to allow crews to safely complete critical infrastructure improvements that will enhance the reliability and capacity of the City’s sewer system,” the city wrote in the post.
Drivers should plan ahead and expect delays during the project, the city said.
Access for local residents and businesses will be maintained as much as possible,” the city wrote.
The News Tribune reached out to Eric Johnson, spokesperson for the city of Puyallup, to ask how much the project will cost.
