What can travelers expect?

This project replaces five culverts under US 12 and SR 8 that are barriers to fish migration. Travelers will see a 50-mph speed limit and reduced lanes. Travelers can expect occasional rolling slowdowns throughout spring and summer. The rolling slowdowns allow crews to quickly deliver materials to the work zone. Once paving and striping is complete, travelers will see two lanes open on each side of the highway. Throughout fall, travelers will see daytime lane closures until all work is complete.

This project replaces six outdated culverts between Lake Quinault and the Queets River.

All work zones will have alternating one-way traffic on a temporary bypass road controlled by traffic signals.
