SHELTON – One-way, alternating traffic across the new Purdy Creek Bridge on US 101 is expected to cause significant delays over the Independence Day weekend.

During peak travel times Thursday, July 1 through Sunday, July 5, WSDOT will manually operate the temporary signal at this location to help lessen the backups. Still, drivers are advised to plan for delays or find an alternate route.

Alternating traffic on US 101 and the closure of West Bourgault Road remains in place through mid- to late July to provide work area for crews rebuilding the Purdy Creek Bridge.
