The current road was built on a peat bog through the Olympic Marsh, original established as F.S. Maiben Road in 1895. The road has been deteriorating over the years with continuous County maintenance. Josh Wilson Road is a rural minor arterial carrying nearly 5,000 vehicles daily and 1.5 million Gross Tons of Freight Annually. This road provides direct access to the Port of Skagit, over 100 businesses, connections between the farming communities, and residential housing.
Josh Wilson Road did not meet current roadway standards, resulting with substandard lane widths and had little to no shoulder for non-motorized transportation access. The road base was also beginning to fail throughout this section of the roadway.
The project consists of reconstructing 1.1 miles of Josh Wilson Road, from approximately Jensen Lane, easterly to Avon-Allen Road. Work will include installation of a pre-cast box culvert; precast retaining walls; removal of existing pavement; planing the existing HMA; grading the HMA planings; grading; placing streambed gravel, gravel base, and crushed surfacing; installing guardrail; hot mix asphalt paving.
