OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Guardrail installation will continue on U.S. Highway 101 around Lake Crescent this week.
Drivers can expect delays of up to a half-hour during weekday work hours.
During the summer, work was restricted to two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset, but that is no longer in effect, said Penny Wagner, Olympic National Park spokeswoman.
Guardrail installation will continue, along with ditch cleaning and striping of fog lines throughout the 12-mile project until it is complete, Wagner said.
She asked drivers to watch for pilot cars and flaggers controlling traffic.
Work is complete on the mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) wall near milepost 223.
Paving also has been finished for the 2018 construction season.
The final 2-1/2-inches of paving/wearing surface will be completed in the final season of the project in 2019.
Strider Construction Inc. of Bellingham is in its second of three seasons of work in a project to rehabilitate 12 miles of the highway.
The project cost $27.5 million.
Construction seasons are from March through mid-November.
