Beginning summer 2020, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will resurface 19 miles of State Route 6 between Pe Ell and the city of Chehalis, in Lewis County.
The pavement on these two stretches of highway and along the Chehalis River Bridge, are nearing the end of their useful life. This project will preserve and extend the life of the asphalt, and provide a smoother ride for drivers. The project also includes pavement repair, crack sealing, centerline rumble strips, restriping pavement markings, culvert repair and some ADA upgrades at targeted locations.
Why is WSDOT resurfacing and chip sealing SR 6?
Between 1999, 2003 and 2010, several sections of SR 6 have been resurfaced. Over time, due to wear and tear, this stretch of highway is showing signs of deterioration such as cracking and rutting. Deferring this work would result in more expensive repairs.
The End Result
In addition to providing drivers a smoother ride, this work helps WSDOT preserve SR 6 in Lewis County and the bridge deck along the Chehalis River Bridge.
All work is weather dependent.
The estimated cost of this project is approximately $2 million dollars
