All locations have a two-lane bypass road around each work zone. Travelers will see reduced speed limits and shifted lanes with occasional nighttime one-way alternating traffic.

People riding bicycles or walking will follow temporary detours using the Olympic Discovery Trail between Blyn and Sequim.

The intersection of US 101 and Whitefeather Way is closed through summer 2025.

This project removes and replaces several outdated culverts under US 101 and State Route 116 at Lees, Ennis, Tumwater and Chimacum creeks. Construction has begun at Tumwater, Lees and Ennis Creeks. Work at Tumwater Creek includes an 80-day closure of US 101, which began March 3. Construction at Lees and Ennis Creeks began in March of 2025. There are no daytime lane closures or reductions at Lees and Ennis Creeks. Travelers will see a lower speed limit and shifted lanes. Chimacum Creek, on SR 116, will begin in the summer of 2025 after the Fourth of July holiday weekend and includes a long-term closure. Timelines and construction schedules are subject to change.

What can travelers expect?

This project replaces an outdated culvert along US 101 south of Forks at May Creek identified as a barrier to fish migration. The culvert currently runs under the roadway at the Jefferson-Clallam County line. A 175-foot-long concrete girder bridge will replace the existing 9-foot diameter metal pipe. A temporary single lane bypass road, temporary bridge and associated traffic signals will remain in place until construction of the permanent bridge is complete. The speed limit is reduced to 25 mph through the work zone.
