Project overview
This project will replace culverts under US 101 in Clallam and Jefferson Counties.
What to expect
In September 2024, crews shifted traffic from temporary bypass roads back onto US 101 at three fish barrier removal sites. The sites are located between Ruby Beach and the Jefferson-Clallam county line. Travelers can expect daytime single lane alternating traffic for landscaping work.
At the work zone just south of the county line, around-the-clock alternating traffic and 25 mph speed limit remain in effect. Crews are working to remove a temporary bridge. The bridge removal is expected to wrap up by the end of October.
At the site near Wisen Creek Road east of Forks, crews worked through summer to complete a bridge on westbound US 101. One lane of traffic is open on the new bridge. Eastbound US 101 remains on a temporary bypass lane. Travelers will see a reduced 40 mph speed limit on US 101 between mileposts 208.8 and 209.88. This speed limit will remain in effect until crews return in late spring 2025 to build the eastbound bridge. During active construction, the speed limit will again be reduced to 25 mph.
