E Smith Rd & Hannegan Rd Intersection Improvements

Project Update for February 19, 2020


Whatcom County Public works has executed a final design contract with our consultant, Transpo, and is in the process of designing the multi-lane roundabout improvement for the intersection. We have completed our geotechnical explorations, environmental assessments, and survey work at the intersection and are currently working towards a 60% design of the roundabout.

In the weeks and months ahead you may see Public Works staff and consultants on-site gathering additional information about the location that will assist in the design. Construction is currently planned for the summer of 2021.

The intersection of East Smith and Hannegan Roads is located in Sections 28, 29, 32 and 33, T39N, R3E. This intersection currently experiences delays due to the lack of left-turn channelization on Smith Road. Proposed improvements would address operation and efficiency of the entire intersection.
