Arlington: Ramp work on I-5 finished
The new and improved onramps and offramps to and from I-5 at Highway 531 (172nd Street NE) have been completed ahead of schedule, but the rest of the freeway improvement project at the Smokey Point interchange probably won’t be wrapped up now until the summer.
State Department of Transportation officials, elected representatives and others gathered recently to celebrate the opening of the ramps and to dedicate the overpass in honor of the late Oliver “Punks” Smith. Smith was a longtime Arlington city councilman who helped lead the effort to reduce congestion at the busy interchange.
The event was attended by Smith’s children and siblings.

During this past school year, Tomahawk Company received recognition from the Commander Naval Education and Training Command for the 11th consecutive year, according to Ed Dawson, Naval science instructor at the high school.
