Traffic delays possible on U.S. Highway 101

Lane closures on U.S. Highway 101 and state roads are planned on the North Olympic Peninsula during construction or maintenance projects this week.

Single-lane closures are planned from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. today through Friday on the highway at North Masters Road in Port Angeles for work to widen the road for an entrance to the Walmart SuperCenter, which is expected to open next month.

Pilot cars and flaggers may direct traffic between Simdars Road and Old Gardiner Road from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. today through Friday while workers pave the road.

Flaggers also may be directing traffic between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today through Saturday on Highway 101 between the Cedar Creek Bridge and the Indian Creek Bridge, as well as on state Highway 112 and six miles east of the Makah reservation to the intersection with 101, and on state Highway 113 between its intersections with 101 and state Highway 112.

Workers will install centerline rumble strips.

Single-lane closures are expected between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. today through Thursday on Highway 101 between Morse Creek and Shore Road while shoulders are repaired.

Shoulder repairs also will prompt single-lane closures on 101 between Kitchen-Dick Road and River Road from 7 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. tonight through Thursday.

Utility work is expected to lead to one-way, alternating traffic on 101 at Seamount Drive in Brinnon between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. today.
