Contractor crews from Tapani, Inc. are planning to start work on SR 20 at Miller/Gibralter roads on Monday, April 2. According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT):
• Tapani crews will close one lane of SR 20 at Miller/Gibralter and begin alternating traffic through the area.
• A flagger will stop southbound traffic while northbound traffic goes through and then switch which direction is stopped, and so on.
• This alternating situation will be in place around-the-clock while the SR 20 Miller/Gibralter roundabout is built.
• It will take crews about two weeks to build half of the roundabout at this intersection, then they will switch traffic control a bit and continue to alternate traffic while they build the other side (about another two weeks).
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
