Temporary changes coming to US 101 south of Forks
FORKS – Travelers on US 101 south of Forks will soon see a temporary reduced speed limit at two fish passage work sites.
The sites <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwsdot.wa.gov%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2025-03%2FBundle-2B-Map-US101-RemoveFishBarriersRev1.png/1/010001962590a660-72b70c4a-6df2-455a-9550
-642730c811f8-000000/Rj1liQAYSassFxGuxK2J8eOSoq3JM4sShbzvWyJGEys=400> are located near Mansfield Road in Clallam County and between Ruby Beach and Kalaloch in Jefferson County.
What to expect
Starting Tuesday, April 14, the speed limit will reduce to 25 mph from 55 mph between mileposts 162.93 and 163.51.
In the coming weeks, the speed limit will also reduce to 25 mph from 55 mph between mileposts 189.14 and 189.55.
The speed limits are enforceable as soon as signs are uncovered.
Travelers will also continue to see temporary traffic lights and single lane alternating travel during daytime hours at both locations.
Why this is needed
Contractors working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will build a temporary one-lane bypass road. The bypass road will keep people moving while crews dig up the
highway.
Once the bypass road is complete, travelers will see single lane alternating travel and temporary traffic lights around the clock.
This work is part of a larger effort <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwsdot.wa.gov%2Fabout%2Fnews%2F2025%2Fmajor-milestone-fish-passage-project-along-washington-coast/1/010001962590a6
