Project overview
This project replaced culverts under US 101 in Clallam and Jefferson Counties.
What to expect
In summer 2025, crews worked to remove a barrier to fish under US 101 near Wisen Creek Road between Forks and Lake Crescent. Four other fish passage sites south of Forks were completed in 2024.

State highways cross rivers and streams in thousands of locations throughout Washington.
Some crossings can impede fish migration.
Since 1991, WSDOT has worked to improve fish passage and foster healthy waterways. This is done by removing barriers that keep fish and other aquatic species from moving under the state highway.
Since 2013, WSDOT has worked to follow the requirements of a U.S. District Court injunction to correct barriers to salmon and steelhead.
