Crews plan to close E. Soper Hill Road where it intersects Highway 9 from 6 a.m. Tuesday to 7 a.m. Wednesday to finish work on underground storm drains.
A half-mile stretch of Soper Hill Road will be closed during the work. Nearby residents will have access to their homes during the closures. A short and clearly-marked detour route will guide drivers around the closure.
The work is part of the widening of Highway 9 between Lundeen Parkway and Highway 92. For more information, go to tinyurl.com/WSDOTLundeen.

A ceremony to honor victims killed by drunk drivers in Snohomish County is set for 1 p.m. Wednesday, at McCollum Park, 600 128th St., Everett
Executive Aaron Reardon and members of the Snohomish County DUI and Target Zero Task Force will unveil 13 tiles for DUI victims being commemorated on a DUI Victims Memorial Wall.
The Snohomish County DUI Victims Memorial Wall is the first of its kind in the state.
The initial unveiling of 45 tiles took place July 19, 2001. With this year’s additions of 13 names, the front of the wall will include 125 Snohomish County DUI victims.
“Families would rather have their loved ones alive and well than a marker on a memorial wall,” Reardon said. “However, until these senseless and avoidable tragedies stop, we must continue drawing awareness to them.”
The names on this year’s tiles are Bradley Agerup, Melissa Agerup, Douglas C. Allen, Sheena Blair, Jeanette M. Cline Manske, Janelle Cooper, Kurt Gessner, Joshua Haggerton, Marco Lopez-Silva, Elisa Kaye Older, Martin A. Ramirez, Hilda Woods and Thomas Woods.
