Why is WSDOT
improving safety and congestion on SR 302 between Key Peninsula Highway and SR 16?
This section of SR 302 experiences congestion at specific locations and a high rate of collisions.
To reduce congestion and the potential for collisions, WSDOT will develop improvements for key locations such as the 118th intersection, the Purdy intersection and the Wauna curves.
These improvements may include widening portions of the road, adding left-turn pockets, new signal equipment, widening shoulders, increasing sight distance and access consolidation.
More information on these improvements will be available in spring 2012.
The End Result
Specific improvements at key locations will reduce congestion and improve safety by reducing the frequency and severity of collisions.
Project Benefits
Safety - Improved sight distance along the corridor, including at intersections and driveways, new turn pockets to facilitate left and right turns and wider shoulders at key locations.
Congestion - Improved traffic flow at key locations including the Purdy intersection.
What is the project timeline?
- Construction is expected to begin Spring 2014.
