MONTESANO – Inclement weather means a two-day delay for a paving project near Montesano. Crews will now close the eastbound US 12 ramps to SR 107 Tuesday, August 28, and the westbound ramps Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Work hours are 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Drivers should access Montesano and SR 107 by detouring to the Devonshire Road interchange, approximately one mile west of the US 12/SR 107 connection. Variable message signs along US 12 will advise motorists of alternate routes. This work is weather dependent.
This paving project stretches across six miles of US 12 between the Wynoochee River Bridge and the Brady vicinity. This $4.1 million project – awarded to Wilder Construction Co. – also installs additional rumble strips to improve safety on a 13-mile stretch of US 12 between the Wynoochee River Bridge and SR 8 (East Elma interchange).
About 20,000 vehicles travel this stretch of US 12 on an average weekday.
Drivers can call 5-1-1 or visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/ for road and traffic updates.
