PORT ANGELES — U.S. Highway 101 is expected to be closed to all travelers for close to two weeks near the Tumwater Truck Route, also known as state Highway 117.
Contractor crews working for the state Department of Transportation were expected to close Highway 101 at Tumwater Creek in both directions between South Pine Street Cutoff and the Tumwater Truck Route at 6 p.m. Sunday. Crews are expected to reopen the highway at noon Sept. 26.
During the closure, travelers will follow a detour route using West Front Street/West 1st Street, Marine Drive and the Tumwater Truck Route.
The second full closure of this roadway segment this year allows the contractor to complete work at Tumwater Creek in 2025.
The area presents a challenging worksite, WSDOT said. The work zone has a narrow roadway, with steep slopes down to the creek below.
Travelers can receive email updates about roadwork on state highways in Clallam and Jefferson counties. Real-time information is available via the WSDOT app and WSDOT Travel Center Map.
Those with questions about the closure can call the project hotline at 360-228-2024.
