The South 352nd Street Extension Project, connecting Enchanted Parkway and Pacific Highway South via South 352nd Street, was completed on Thursday, Aug. 11.

The project cost the city of Federal Way about $4.61 million, although the cost was off-set by about $3.07 million in grant monies from the the Transportation Improvement Board and by property dedication from most of the adjacent property owners.

The project included the construction of three-lane cross-section with a two-way left turn lane and bike lanes. A new traffic signal was constructed at the intersection of South 352nd Street and Pacific Highway South, and signal modifications and a widening of the west leg of the intersection of South 352nd Street and Enchanted Parkway South was completed to accommodate a new right-turn-only lane.

Other improvements included curb, gutter and sidewalk, planter strips between the curb and sidewalk and illumination, as well as curb, gutter and sidewalks incorporated along both sides of the roadway. The eight-foot sidewalk section is separated from the roadway by a six-foot planter strip, providing room for street lighting, street trees and other landscaping.

KPG, Inc., of Seattle designed the project with input from the Federal Way City Council, city residents and local business owners. Scarsella Brother, Inc., of Seattle constructed the project.
