PORT ANGELES – Travelers on Highway 101 east of Port Angeles should prepare for upcoming nighttime lane closures.
Starting Sunday, March 9 through Thursday, March 13, contractor crews working for WSDOT will begin setting up the work zone for what is expected to be a two-year fish barrier removal project at Lees and Ennis Creeks.
Each night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. each following morning, the right lane in both directions of 101 will close between Del Guzzi Drive and Brook Avenue
Once the work zone is established for Lees and Ennis Creeks, travelers will see shifted lanes and a reduced speed limit from 40 mph to 25 mph on 101 in that area. This will give crews the room they need to construct the project.
During construction, two lanes in each direction of 101 will remain open during daytime hours through the work zone.
Construction at Tumwater Creek in Port Angeles near the top of the Tumwater Truck Route is already under way.
