Expect around-the-clock single-lane alternating traffic with temporary signals on US 101 at the Jefferson-Clallam county line through fall 2026. The speed limit is reduced to 25 mph between mileposts 184 and 185.
Project overview
This fish barrier removal project replaces an outdated culvert along US 101 south of Forks. A 175-foot-long concrete girder bridge will replace the existing metal pipe to improve fish migration in May Creek.
What to expect
Starting March 2024, US 101 travelers near the Clallam-Jefferson County line saw reduced speeds, shifted lanes and alternating conditions. In October 2024, crews shifted traffic onto a temporary bridge to keep people moving around the work zone. Temporary traffic signals will alternate travelers one direction at a time on a temporary bypass road through fall 2026.
US 101 at May Creek is currently 67% passable and in need for correction. Once complete, the work will increase fish habitat for salmon, coho, chinook and several other species.
