What to expect

Monday, March 3 through Friday, April 4:

  • Travelers will single-lane alternating traffic at two locations in Jefferson County south of Forks.
  • Temporary signals will alternate traffic around the clock south of Dowans Creek Road.
  • The speed limit is reduced to 25 mph from 60 mph between mileposts 181.83 to 182.39 and 181.01 to 181.35.

At the site near Wisen Creek Road east of Forks, crews worked through summer 2024 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.
