It's old news to everyone in town, but for those who follow local happenings from far away places like South Tacoma or Tennessee, you'll be happy to know that the Ruston tunnel opened as planned on Friday. The roadway was closed over a month ago on August 23rd with a promise to reopen on September 3rd, but construction and weather delays kept things shut for longer than expected.
It's been a tough month for local businesses without vehicle traffic on our roads to bring customers. And the major closure for road construction will be even longer when that happens, probably in the range of 3 months. Hopefully folks will return to their former driving patterns and come back to our shops soon.

Any guestimation on when we might expect the next tunel closure? Will it be the last time.
It is amazing how many cars pass thru the tunel everyday.Let's keep our fingers crossed that things go good for Point Ruston and the Blvd can be completed in '11.
Point Ruston says the current estimate for the road work (and tunnel closure) is next spring or summer.
