304th Street East is a critical east-west arterial grid road located in south-central Pierce County. It is a high-speed roadway connecting two state highways—State Routes 7 and 161—with trucks constituting approximately 30% of the daily traffic volume. The rural arterial is the preferred route for truck traffic traveling to the Pierce County's primary solid waste landfill facility, which is located at 304th Street East and SR-161.
The project resurfaced the roadway to provide structural integrity. The road's surface condition was restored through pre-leveling and an overlay of the roadway with approximately 3" of hot mix asphalt. The bridge deck within the project limits was also resurfaced, and its sub-standard guard rail was replaced with Type 31 guard rail to meet current stations.
The project was successfully completed and has delivered a safer and smoother roadway surface for all users of the highway—including non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians. The improvements have preserved the structural integrity of the road and bridge deck, and new guardrail systems will help prevent roadway departure crashes that can cause serious injury.
