SR 9 is reduced to a single lane near Kalloch Road (MP 59) with alternating traffic through a bypass road for 42 days, starting Aug. 3 and ending Sept. 14.

This construction aims to improve fish passage at unnamed tributaries of Nookachamp and Hansen Creeks. Drivers should expect delays in the area during the work period.

The project is part of a broader effort to enhance aquatic habitat. WSDOT notes the work is scheduled to conclude by Sept. 14, 2026, with no further updates provided in the current notice.
