Featured Project

Skagit County used their CAPA funds to address serious pavement problems on Pioneer Highway and East Hickox Road in 2006. Pioneer Highway is the second highest volume roadway under Skagit County jurisdiction. This roadway is a vital link between Skagit County and Snohomish County carrying approximately 10,000 vehicles a day.

East Hickox Road provides acess to a major quarry within Skagit County with truck percentages nearing 20 percent of the traffic on the roadway. The roadway was showing severe distress in the west bound lanes as the trucks left loaded. Along with the heavy truck traffic this road also connects with numerous local access roads and neighborhoods.
