SR 9 near Kalloch Road (MP 59) will have alternating single-lane traffic starting Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, until Sept. 14, 2026, for fish passage construction. The project will require northbound and southbound traffic to alternate through a bypass road, causing delays for commuters and local drivers. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) states the single-lane configuration will last 42 days. The project aims to improve fish passage at Nookachamps and Hansen Creeks. Drivers should expect delays and follow the posted detour signs. The project webpage provides additional details for travelers.
