What to expect

Temporary changes underway on US 101 in Blyn

Travelers will see crews working on a new bridge. When it opens this summer, traffic will shift to the new bridge while crews work to restore the stream channel beneath.

  • The speed limit is 35 mph.
  • People walking or riding bicycles on US 101 from Gardiner to Blyn will detour onto the Olympic Discovery Trail. US 101 will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians going from Blyn to Gardiner.

Temporary changes underway on US 101 in Sequim

Travelers will notice a change to US 101 between Happy Valley Road and Palo Alto Road. Crews set bridge girders over Johnson Creek in early April. Traffic from the temporary bypass road will shift over the new bridge when completed this summer.

  • The speed limit is 30 mph.
  • People walking or riding bicycles on US 101 between Blyn and Sequim will detour onto the Olympic Discovery Trail.

Traffic shifts from bypass to new bridge near Gardiner

Travelers will notice a change to US 101 just east of Gardiner at milepost 277.9. Construction crews shifted traffic to the new bridge over Contractors Creek in late March. Work will continue off the roadway to complete fish barrier removal and to restore the stream to its natural state.

Intersection of US 101 and Whitefeather Way closed to all traffic

  • The intersection of Whitefeather Way and US 101 is closed until late July 2025.
  • Travelers will detour via West Sequim Bay Road.
  • Access to Olympic Discovery Trail from Whitefeather Way remains open. 

This project will replace six existing culverts beneath US 101 between milepost 267 and 278.
