ARTIC – Two-way traffic is set to resume tonight, Oct. 5 on US 101 at the SR 107 interchange near Artic.

Since August, one-way, alternating traffic has been diverted onto a temporary roadway alongside US 101 while crews worked on a $728,000 project that removed a fish barrier.

Crews installed a new three-sided concrete culvert measuring 137 feet long, 10 feet high and 16 feet wide. This new culvert allows fish to reach upstream habitat.
Tonight, crews remove the traffic signal and traffic shifts from the interim roadway back to US 101.
