SR 4 / SR 401 – Roadside Safety Improvements
Traffic Impacts:

• June 29-July 3: No traffic impacts are scheduled. Work has been suspended on this project until August 15, 2009 for wildlife nesting.

Project Description:

Contractor crews will make safety improvements on SR 401 by installing guardrail between US 101 and the SR 401 junction near Knappton. Crews will head north on SR 401 and continue safety improvements until the SR 4 junction in Naselle. Guardrail installation will continue on SR 4 between US 101 near Johnsons Landing in Pacific County and head east through Wahkiakum and Cowlitz counties, concluding at the SR 432 junction in Longview. Once complete, the SR 4 and SR 401 corridors will have enhanced safety to help reduce to severity of run off the road collisions in these rural areas. Construction began May 13, 2009, and crews anticipate construction to be complete in fall 2009.

US 101 / SR 6 to Grays Harbor County Line (mileposts 58.49-67.18) – Paving
Traffic Impacts:

• July 1-3: Daytime shoulder closures on US 101 for sign installation activities. Work will conclude by 12 p.m. on Friday, July 3.

Project Description:

Contractor crews will resurface nearly 10 miles of US 101 between SR 6 in Raymond and the Grays Harbor County line (mile posts 58.49 to 67.18) and bring ADA ramps in Raymond up to current standards. Temporary ADA facilities will be available throughout construction. Paving work will begin at the northern end of the project area and crews will work their way south. Paving operations in the city of Raymond begin in August, and drivers will be directed to use local detours as crews work through a series of closures on US 101. Commercial Street and Franklin Street in Raymond will remain open. For more information, contact Colin Newell in the Chehalis Area Engineering Office at (866) 713-2412.

US 101 / SR 103 Fort Columbia Vic./Long Beach Vic. Paving and Chip Seal
Traffic Impacts:

• June 29-July 2: Daytime single lane closures on SR 103 for crack sealing work between Pioneer Road W and 255th Place (mileposts 2.53-10.77).

Project Description:

Contractor crews will use hot-mix asphalt to pave US 101 between the Astoria-Megler Bridge and Fort Columbia vicinity (mileposts 1.85 to 2.46) and recently completed a portion of SR 103 between 15th Street SE and 13th Street NE (milepost 0.80 to 1.99). Crews will chip seal SR 103 between Pioneer Road W and 255th Place (mileposts 2.53 to 10.77). Once this project is complete, drivers will experience a safer, smoother driving surface. WSDOT will also enhance drivability with updated safety features such as ADA sidewalks and new curbing, signing, and striping. This project began construction on May 15, 2009 and is expected to be complete by late August.
