If your list for summer getaways this year includes doing the loop around Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, then this news is for you! WSDOT has several work zones on US 101 and adjacent state highways all the way around the peninsula that you will want to prepare for.
US 101 in Jefferson County near Quilcene – For no more than 25 consecutive days between July 16, and Aug. 19, a section of US 101 near Quilcene will close to replace the box culverts under the highway near Leland Valley Cut-Off Road. All traffic will detour around the construction using Center Road.
WSDOT will update their project webpage with the specific dates of the closure once they are confirmed.
Be sure to use extra caution around the Quilcene, Concerts in the Barn venue, as each performance results in a large under of cars entering and exiting Center Road associated with their summer concerts
