The guardrail will be installed near milepost 231, said Penny Wagner, Olympic National Park spokeswoman.
Strider Construction will continue on a mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) wall near milepost 223, which is west of the Lake Crescent Lodge area, Wagner said.
A temporary traffic signal is installed at this location. Drivers should expect short delays after hours and on the weekend for the signal, she said.
