State Route 9 will be reduced to a single lane near Kalloch Road (MP 59) starting Aug. 21, with alternating northbound and southbound traffic through a bypass road for 42 days until Sept. 14. The project, aimed at improving fish passage at unnamed tributaries of Nookachamps and Hansen Creeks, will cause delays in the area. WSDOT states the construction is scheduled to end on Sept. 14, 2026. Drivers should expect delays and plan accordingly. The project webpage provides more details on the work.
