Starting Monday, May 5, US 101 travelers near Queets will see daytime road work for a fish passage project.

Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will prepare work zones at six locations.

What to expect

From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each weekday and some weekends, travelers will see single-lane alternating traffic. The work zones will be located between milepost 135 and milepost 153 near Queets. Crews will mark the work zone boundaries and install materials to prevent erosion.

This work will help protect the environment while crews dig up the highway to replace outdated culverts.

Travelers will notice crews building several temporary single-lane bypass roads later in May and June. Once complete, temporary traffic lights will alternate travelers around the clock through fall.

The work is part of a larger effort to remove barriers to fish under US 101.
