Road crews to prepare for fish passage work

PORT ANGELES — Contracted road crews working for the state Department of Transportation will conduct preliminary work in Port Angeles beginning Sunday night.

The work is in preparation for fish passage abatement projects scheduled to begin March 3.

Drivers will see alternating single-lane traffic on U.S. Highway 101 between Nicholas Road and the Black Diamond Road overpass from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Crews also will close the ramp from eastbound Highway 101 to northbound state Highway 117, the Tumwater Truck Route, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday and Tuesday.

Drivers also can expect single-lane closures on Highway 117 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday for roadway repairs.

Contractor crews will install traffic cameras at three intersections on Highway 101 east of Port Angeles.
