The City is advancing design work for the Meridian-Birchwood intersection to improve safety and traffic flow for freight and other users near two closely spaced intersections. The project would realign the Squalicum Way truck route with Birchwood Avenue at Meridian Street and replace the traffic signals with a multimodal roundabout.
Additional improvements are planned for bicyclists, pedestrians, and utilities. The project is currently at 60% design, with construction anticipated to begin in early 2028. The Port is coordinating with the City and will continue monitoring potential truck route detours, closures, and impacts to Port facilities and terminals.
