Welcome to the SR 510 Yelm Loop.
As of 9:15 am on Tuesday April 20th, Yelm traffic came to a screeching halt as the SR 510 – Yelm Loop Bypass To Nowhere construction went from local officials doing goofy photo opts to bringing traffic in Yelm to a halt.
The project is said to be ‘completed’ in winter of 2010 according to the www.wsdot.wa.gov site. I use the term completed loosely because the only funding any where near in place is Stage One that only runs to Cullins Road, not even to Canal Rd which could then route some of the traffic around town.
And the new zoning of the land the 1/2 a Bypass will run through? The City of Yelm doesn’t have water to hook up people’s homes that they issued building permits to, much less to start developing all the new exiting commercial and residential zoning along the Bypass.
