July 17, 2009
NEW — Noon, July 17, 2009
The contractor on the Newcastle Transit Center project will begin a major closure of Coal Creek Parkway on Monday to complete a section of work at the intersection of Newcastle Way.
Although this work will help shave a full month from the total project’s timeline, it will close Coal Creek Parkway for seven days from Newcastle Way to Golf Club Road.
Work begins at 6 a.m. Monday, July 20, and will be finished in time for the morning commute Monday, July 27.
Northbound and southbound traffic on Coal Creek Parkway will be detoured onto Newcastle Way and Golf Club Road to reconnect with the parkway. Expect major delays through downtown Newcastle during the week.

CNN and Money Magazine released their 2009 list of the top-100 small towns in which to live in the nation, and Newcastle came in at number 17.
The annual list takes school quality, home price, number of job opportunities, crime rate and other factors into consideration to determine what cities make the cut.
Newcastle’s description on the list recognizes the Newcastle Golf Club, as well as the city’s proximity to the facilities of Boeing and Microsoft as positive aspects of the town.
