What to expect

Two sections of US 101 between Gardiner and Sequim are using two-lane bypass roads. Both have reduced speed limits. Bypass roads keep people moving around the work zones.  Both will be used through summer 2024.

Bypass road locations

  • Near West Sequim Bay Road at milepost 268.5 - Discovery Creek 
  • Near Gardiner at milepost 277.9 – Contractors Creek 

Travelers will also see daytime shoulder closures and occasional night one-lane alternating traffic. 

Whitefeather Way 
During September, travelers will notice left turn restrictions at US 101 and Whitefeather Way.

  • Left turns will not be allowed to or from the highway.
  • Right turns will be allowed to and from the highway.
  • Travelers will detour via West Sequim Bay Road.

WSDOT will announce when the left turn restrictions are scheduled. The left turn restrictions will continue to summer 2025.

People walking or riding bicycles on US 101 may see a detour via the Olympic Discovery Trail. See more in "Maps and Drawings."

This project will replace six existing culverts beneath US 101 between milepost 267 and 278.
