City of Tacoma crews plan to make street repairs on Thorne Road from East 11th Street to Maxwell Avenue May 6 and 7.

The City plans to make repairs to the east side of Thorne Road Wednesday, May 6, and to the west side Thursday, May 7. The work is weather dependent. Please travel slowly through the area and watch for flaggers directing traffic.

Alternate routes for trucks accessing Olympic Container Terminal include Milwaukee Avenue and Ross Way.

The work is in preparation for the Port of Tacoma Road reconstruction project, expected to begin in late May. Thorne Road will be part of the detour route during that project.

The street repairs will coincide with work by Tacoma Rail on the rail tracks that cross Thorne Road near Ross Way. See a map of the street repairs.
