PORT ANGELES — Four-hours delays are set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday this week on U.S. Highway 101 around Lake Crescent.
Contractor Strider Construction will work to restore the roadway width and shoulder area in front of the rock wall near milepost 229, said Penny Wagner, Olympic National Park spokesperson.
Concrete barriers are in place which reduce the work zone to one lane and temporary traffic signals are set up to control alternating single-lane traffic before/after work hours and on weekends, she said.
During these four-hour periods, Highway 101 eastbound from Forks will be open to the turn for Barnes Point where Lake Crescent Lodge is located. Highway 101 westbound from Port Angeles will remain open up to mile marker 232/East Beach Road.
Outside of the four-hour delays, drivers should expect delays around milepost 229 for alternating single-lane traffic during weekday work hours.
This is the last work to be done for the three-year, $27.5 million Lake Crescent Highway 101 Rehabilitation Project.
The roadway restoration work is anticipated to last four to six weeks.
The project is being managed collaboratively by the Federal Highway Administration and the National Park Service.
