Everson-Goshen Rd is a high volume Rural Major Collector designated as a T3 freight haul route. The route is a primary connection between Bellingham to the south and the cities of Everson, Nooksack, and Sumas to the north.

Prior to construction, the road surface was worn, with visible signs of distress including cracking, potholes, and rutting. Much of the guardrail along the route was also in need of repair with sunken sections and rotten posts. Existing centerline and edge line rumble strips had lost effectiveness due to the application of multiple chip seal coats.

The project rehabilitated the HMA pavement along approximately 4 road miles through mill and inlay of the top 2" of wearing course. The project additionally enhanced roadside safety through repair and replacement of deficient guardrail sections, replacement of all traffic signs, reinstallation of rumble strips, restriping, and installation of recessed pavement markings.
