In 1992, a portion of State Route 530 was transferred to Skagit County and since has become known as Pioneer Highway. Pioneer Highway serves as a major collector for lower classification roadways. Pioneer Highway plays a significant role allowing access for residential and agricultural areas. In addition, Pioneer Highway is a key route between Snohomish and Skagit counties. As such, it is a frequently utilized road for commuting and transporting goods.
During Skagit County's pavement study of Pioneer Highway, several areas of longitudinal and transverse cracking were observed. This provided evidence of delamination occurring between asphalt layers. Due to Pioneer Highways critical role in Skagit County's road network, it was necessary to remedy these maintenance issues before the roadway suffered more severe damage.
Skagit County's contractor, under the supervision of County inspectors, removed and replaced approximately 0.17', or 2", of asphalt. Skagit County required this work to be complete at night, which gained positive feedback from both residents of Skagit County, as well as personnel from Snohomish County Public Works. Performing this work at night reduced traffic impacts to the public, as well as provided a safer and more efficient work environment for the contractor.
