The May 6-20 closure of State Route 108 has been cancelled.
The highway near Hurley Waldrip Road will remain open to travelers around-the-clock.
The temporary closure would have allowed initial efforts to replace the existing culvert with a new bridge. However, the work has been rescheduled to this summer.
There will be three total closures of the highway this year. WSDOT will announce each closure when they are scheduled.
Fish barrier removal
Correcting fish passage barriers is an important part of the WSDOT’s efforts to protect and restore fish runs negatively affected by outdated culverts under state highways. Replacing outdated culverts with either bridges or fish passable structures will increase the likelihood of fish migration. The improvements will slow water and build the creek to help simulate a more natural creek environment.

Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Squaxin Island Tribe’s Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the natural hazards we are most susceptible to, like earthquakes, severe weather, wildfires, and climate change, and helps us identify ways we can become more resilient towards them. We’d love for you to take a peek at our latest draft and provide feedback or ask questions.
