Subject: Temporary Road Closure on Gardiner Beach Rd. MP 0.56 to MP 0.69,
County Road No. 502009
Statement of Issue:
A planned reconstruction of a segment of Gardiner Beach Rd. will be best served by periodic
road closures between July 14, 2025 and October 3, 2025.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's& Con's:
This joint project with the Port of Port Townsend includes elevating a segment of Gardiner
Beach Road to accommodate the Port's reconstruction of the existing boat ramp. The County's
contribution will be applied to county road reconstruction and resurfacing. This project is #13
on the 2024-2029 TIP (Transportation Improvement Program. The Port of Port Townsend and
the Department of Public Works have determined that temporary road closures are
appropriate for this project. The road would be closed periodically between milepost 0.56 and
milepost 0.69 for up to 12 days between July 14, 2025 and October 3, 2025. Closure of
Gardiner Beach Rd. will allow the work to be completed in a shorter time period, more safely,
at lower cost, and will not significantly impact the travelling public and adjacent landowners.
Given the location, availability of alternate routes, and advance warning to the public through
signage and publication, road closure is recommended.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
The Port of Port Townsend's estimate for construction is $800,000. The County's $50,000
contribution to the project will come from the Road Fund.
Recommendation:
The Board is requested to approve the temporary road closure resolution, and return a copy to
Public Work.
