State Route 9 near Kalloch Road (MP 59) will operate with a single lane and alternating traffic through a bypass road starting Monday, Aug. 24, for 42 days until Sept. 14. The change is part of a fish passage construction project to improve habitat for native fish species.

WSDOT expects delays in the area during the closure period. The project webpage provides additional details about the work, which includes modifications to streams and culverts along SR 9 near Nookachamps and Hansen Creeks.

The single-lane configuration will replace the current two-lane operation, with traffic alternating between northbound and southbound directions through the bypass road. Drivers should plan for increased travel times during this period.
