Road Dedicated
The board officially designated the newly constructed portion of SE Ensign Lane as a public road. The road section, built through the county-owned North Coast Business Park in Warrenton, connects SE 19th St. and Alternate Highway 101.
Construction of the road was an obligation under the intergovernmental agreement between Clatsop County and the Oregon Department of Transportation for the granting of highway access to the commercial area of the business park.
The board is scheduled to formally accept the road into the county road system Jan. 22.
Public Works Director Ed Wegner singled out the work of project leader Terry Hendryx, engineering technician, who headed the design, inspection and mitigation for the project, which was completed ahead of schedule.
