This study looks at adding a lane to SR 3 in each direction from Gorst to SR 304. It also explores elevating the roadway through Gorst, replacing the Navy’s railroad crossing of SR 3 and replacing nearby fish barriers.

WSDOT routinely reviews rural intersections on the state highway system to find ways to reduce potential crashes. We look for locations that are at the highest risk for severe crashes.

This project will construct single-lane roundabouts on East Agate Road and East Pickering Road in Mason

SR 302, an important east-west link for Key Peninsula communities, has been the subject of a corridor study designed to conform with the decision making requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This area of the state's highway system located in Pierce and Kitsap counties has

Information about the study, the recommended roundabout and feedback WSDOT received during the online open house is now available for

SR 302 is an important east-west link through Mason and Pierce Counties. The road is an important connection for Belfair and Purdy. It also provides a connection between SR 3 and SR 16 for residents, businesses and visitors.

The study looked at improvements to address roadway collapse

The City of Bremerton and WSDOT completed a comprehensive planning study of the SR 303 (Warren/Wheaton) corridor. Using the Practical Solutions approach, the study will look at the corridor from Burwell Street to NE Fairgrounds Road, particularly the segments within city limits. The study will

WSDOT is studying how people use SR 503 and how continued growth might affect future use. Focus areas include addressing gaps in active transportation (e.g., biking, walking and rolling) facilities, access to transit, vehicle traffic pain points, safety improvements and freight mobility planning

WSDOT routinely reviews rural area intersections on its state highway system to find ways to reduce potential crashes. As a result of this review, we will replace the existing stop signs at three intersections in Pierce County with single-lane roundabouts. These roundabouts fit within the

Each year, WSDOT looks at all rural stop-controlled intersections on our state highways to identify ways to reduce potential crashes. For some intersections, WSDOT develops a safety plan that outlines ways to manage travel speeds and reduce conflict points.

As a result of a recent safety

To reduce potential crashes, we complete routine reviews of rural area intersections on the state highway system. As a result of this review, we will construct a roundabout on SR 510 at the intersection of McAllister Court SE/Rockcress Drive SE and remove the existing stop signs. This roundabout

SR 512 is an important east-west link through Pierce County that connects the cities of Lakewood and Puyallup. This highway provides a vital connection between Interstate 5 and SR 167 for residents, businesses and visitors. The study identified potential multimodal system improvements and

SR 516 through Covington is a heavily traveled road that serves as the community's main commercial route. As the area grows, the demand on the roadway is expected to increase. WSDOT is working with the city of Covington to consider multimodal access, safety, environmental and performance

Through this study, we determined priorities for future highway work or transit service adjustments. and developed practical, cost-effective concepts to help improve trip reliability and safety along the corridor. Our study partners included Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac, Tukwila, tribes, King

Washington's environmental justice law, known as the Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act, requires WSDOT to conduct Environmental Justice Assessments when considering significant agency actions. These actions are those that initiated after July 1, 2023, and consist of WSDOT transportation

State Route 532 is the primary east-west corridor to Interstate 5 for the city of Stanwood, Camano Island and unincorporated areas of Snohomish County. Over the last several years, this area has experienced increased levels of vehicular and commercial truck traffic during peak travel periods. In

State Route 542, Mount Baker Highway, connects communities in eastern Whatcom County with the rest of Washington State while also providing a gateway to outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities near Mount Baker. This route also acts as an economic corridor transporting over 3 million tons of

WSDOT is replacing the existing two-way stop at the intersection of State Route 702 and 8th Avenue South with a modern roundabout. The intersection currently has stop control on the northbound and southbound legs, and a span wire mounted, four-head flashing beacon. This project will remove the

State Route 900/Martin Luther King Jr. Way South in Skyway is a heavily-traveled commuter corridor with approximately 32,000 vehicles using this section each day. However, it lacks complete sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity between residences and community hubs. We are conducting a
