Do you hear that? The chanting? M-A-P, M-A-P! D-A-D, D-A-D! U-S-A, U-S-A! Lots of cheering and a lot going on this weekend.

It’s Father’s Day weekend, which means several of this map’s residents have arrived with their offspring (peep the baby rhubarb and the baby bridge troll). Meanwhile, the World Cup is in full swing and Team USA is in Seattle this weekend, which explains the eagle, soccer ball and suspicious lack of orange on this week’s map.

While many of our major projects take a brief halftime during World Cup, we still have a few closures and openings you should know about.

Here’s what we’ve got going on:

- Sedgwick Rd/SR 160 in Kitsap County is CLOSED between Blackberry Hill Ln SE and Long Lake Rd SE through the end of October. This extended closure will allow crews to build a new bridge over Salmonberry Creek. Vehicles will use Jackson Ave SE, SE Salmonberry Rd and Long Lake Rd SE. Bicycles and pedestrians will take slightly different routes using Phillips Rd SE, SE Salmonberry Rd, Long Lake Rd SE and Lakeview Dr SE.

- SR 20 North Cascades Highway is OPEN! Crews completed repairs to washout and rockslide damage and reopened the scenic route three weeks ahead of schedule. Travelers should still watch for construction equipment leaving the area and wildlife adjusting to the return of highway traffic.

Whether you’re heading to a celebration, a dad’s day gathering, a World Cup match, a festival or simply leaving the house, check your route before you go and give yourself extra travel time.
