CARLSBORG — Details of the proposed widening of U.S. Highway 101 from Shore to Kitchen-Dick roads will be provided during an open house this afternoon.
The open house organized by the state Department of Transportation will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Greywolf Elementary School’s gymnasium, 171 Carlsborg Road.
Transportation will have design, environmental and real estate service staff available to answer questions from the public.
The stretch is the last two-lane link of the transcontinental highway between Port Angeles and Sequim.
It will be widened to four lanes during construction beginning in 2011 and continuing until 2013.
Under the state’s current design, drivers entering the highway from sidestreets like Barr, Dryke and Sherburne roads will not be allowed to turn left. Instead, drivers will have to turn right and take one of six indirect left turns, which loop across the highway and back to the right lane of the intended direction.
