The R avenue corridor is the City main truck route connection from our local refineries to our natural deep water port district as well as our busy marine and commercial fishing and packing industries. R Avenue is also a large transport corridor upgraded in 2017 through elimination of overhead utility conflicts and reduction of permanent obstructions. This route was designed to allow super loads up to 35 high, 25 wide and 125 long to transit the corridor for delivery of modules to the oil refineries on March Point. R Avenue also functions as the secondary access to the City Central Business District as well as access to the San Juan Islands and Canada via Washington State Ferries.
