Overnight detour allows for Westport Highway culvert repair

WESTPORT – From 6 p.m. Wednesday through Thursday, Sept. 14-15 to 6 a.m. each following day, travelers will want to plan extra time if their trips include the Westport Highway/State Route 105 in Grays Harbor County.

Crews will temporarily close a portion of the highway at milepost 34 near Ocosta north of the Elk River Bridge to all traffic. The closure will allow removal and replacement of a damaged culvert. A pilot car will lead travelers on a detour via Bayview Road.

Daytime construction will also take place on Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Travelers will see one-way alternating traffic with flaggers.

The Washington State Department of Transportation strongly encourages drivers to reduce their speeds in work zones. Give crews the room they need to get the job done.
