Keith Thorpe/Peninsula Daily News Crains set at the site of the new U.S. 101 bridge over Siebert Creek between Port Angeles and Sequim after three out of six 175-foot-long concrete girders were hoisted into place on Tuesday. Traffic delays of up to 20 minutes at the site are possible today to accommodate heavy machinery used to place the remaning girders occupy the parallel bridge. The project was designed to replace an aging culvert that was a hinderance to fish passage in Siebert Creek with additional culvert removed underway at nearby Bagley Creek. Traffic has been reduced to a single lane in each direction at both construction sites.
