FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fonk Road Closed for Daily Repairs August 7 to August 11, 2023

?

Fonk Road, south of Beaver Lake in Mount Vernon, will be closed for repair from Monday, August 7, to Friday, August 11, 2023. There will be daily road closures from approximately 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM during this time, but access will be restored to the community each day outside of construction hours.

Though it was anticipated an existing culvert pipe below the roadway would be replaced during this closure, the culvert pipe received from the manufacturer is larger and heavier than expected, pushing the limit of the County?s equipment capacities. Much to the County?s dismay, this unanticipated challenge requires the County to more thoroughly clean out the existing culvert from debris, necessitating the temporary closure.

We ask the public to please steer clear of the construction zone while the area is closed for our crews' safety and cleaning of the culvert can be finished as soon as possible.

For questions, please contact Public Works at (360) 416-1400 or email [email protected]. To find information about the Fonk Road Emergency Repair Project, please visit the project webpage [ [link removed] ].
