The Washington State Department of Transportation contractor completed repairs on the

occurred last November. Repairs were estimated at $3.45 million, funded through the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Both the City and Contractor are prepared to pave Freeway Drive at the first available

repair the potholes that have formed since the grinding occurred; this will prepare the road
