SEQUIM — Construction crews will open a two-lane bypass for U.S. Highway 101 between Happy Valley and Palo Alto roads on Friday.
Drivers will see a reduced speed of 30 mph between milepost 267.8 and 266.85, according to a state Department of Transportation press release.
Additionally, drivers will not be able to turn left onto Whitefeather Way. Westbound traffic will still be able to turn right.
Pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be detoured onto the Olympic Discovery Trail.
The bypass will allow work crews to replace a culvert on Johnson Creek where it runs under the highway. The bypass is expected to be in place through summer 2025, WSDOT said.
The project is part of WSDOT’s court-ordered fish passage abatement program. More information is available at wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/search-projects/us-101-jefferson-and-clallam-counties-fish-barriers-remove-fish-barriers.
