HOODSPORT – Crews break ground next week on a safety project that builds an on-ramp from State Route 3 to US 101 headed toward Hoodsport in Mason County.

Currently, motorists on SR 3 who want to go north on US 101 must turn left and cross oncoming traffic. A new ramp provides a safer and more direct connection to US 101 and eliminates the left turn.

The contractor, Tri State Construction, Inc. of Bellevue, begins construction Monday, May 12. The project is scheduled to wrap up the end of October.

During the project, drivers should expect intermittent lane and ramp closures.
