SR 109

HOQUIAM – State Route 109 travelers saw a lot of construction over summer. After five total closures over four months between Seabrook and Hoquiam, major work to remove several fish barriers is now done. 

“We worked very hard to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible,” said Project Engineer Ben Ford. “We’re extremely thankful for everyone’s patience and understanding during this work.”

Crews to remove barriers to fish at 5 locations between Hoquiam and Pacific Beach

HOQUIAM – This summer, trips to coastal beach communities between Hoquiam and Pacific Beach may include a couple different routes.

Washington State Department of Transportation’s contractor Kiewit will remove and replace culverts under the highway at five locations. Travelers will follow detours around five separate work zones on State Route 109.

The detours will provide access to coastal businesses and communities.
