Due to deterioration, Tramp Harbor Road will need renovation
Clara Kappleman
As many Island commuters know, Dockton Road at Tramp Harbor is one of only two roads connecting Vashon and Maury Islands. Therefore, it is an important link for the Island community.
However, the road and seawall supporting it, now 93 years old, are progressively deteriorating. According to the King County website, the “Seawall has deteriorated to the point where regular, small scale maintenance repairs are no longer effective nor permitted by environmental regulating agencies.” To keep the road safe and fully operable for drivers, the King County Department of Transportation decided it was necessary to address the problem on a large scale.
