What was done
In addition to the culvert repairs, crews patched the roadway shoulder. Work also included adding trenches and rocks to stabilize the hillside and help with drainage.
Crews reopened the southbound lane of US 101 on Tuesday, Aug. 19 after repaving the highway over the culvert.
During repair work, WSDOT kept people moving with one-way alternating traffic at the work zone.
Why this was needed
WSDOT maintenance crews discovered erosion next to the southbound lane in late March. An inspection revealed a failed culvert under the roadway as the cause. Crews closed the southbound
lane until emergency repair work could be scheduled.
