Two North Olympic Peninsula highway repair projects have been granted federal emergency relief funds to reimburse costs incurred by the state Department of Transportation, state officials announced Wednesday.
One of the projects, an engineered log jam on the Hoh River in West Jefferson County, allowed for permanent repairs to a chronic erosion problem along U.S. Highway 101. Work was finished last October.
Another was repairs to state Highway 112 near the entrance to the Makah reservation after an October 2003 slipout blocked access to Neah Bay. A temporary road was built while crews repaired the 150-foot-long washout by last summer.
