State Route 9 near Kalloch Road will operate with single-lane traffic alternating northbound and southbound through a bypass road starting Aug. 22, WSDOT announced. The change is scheduled to last 42 days until Sept. 14 for fish passage construction.
The project aims to improve fish habitat along unnamed tributaries of Nookachamps and Hansen Creeks. WSDOT notes delays are expected in the area during the construction period. The work is part of a larger initiative to support fish passage, as detailed on the WSDOT project webpage.
The alternating traffic pattern will continue daily until Sept. 14, with no further details provided on the project timeline beyond the announced end date.
