Plan extra travel time for morning SR 8 road work between Elma and McCleary April 4

Travelers on State Route 8 east of Elma will want to plan extra travel time the morning of Thursday, April 4.

5:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Thursday, April 4

• Crews will slow down traffic at unscheduled times in both directions of SR 8.

• Travelers are encouraged to add 15 minutes of travel time to help prevent delays.

Please do not pass the vehicles or flaggers temporarily slowing traffic. Workers are helping to keep everyone safe during the construction.

Crews will use two large cranes to lift and place five girders onto the new eastbound bridge over a stream that flows into Wildcat Creek.

The eastbound SR 8 bridge is one of ten structures replacing culverts that block fish habitat under US 12 and SR 8 in Grays Harbor County.
