Traffic

Crews are working to finish installing lights at the intersection following the roundabout’s completion in August.

The county council will hold a public hearing on the change on Jan. 14, 2025.

The project will bring a new sidewalk, traffic signal and more to the Fairhaven area.

WSDOT has not disclosed a reason for the closures, but they are encouraging drivers to use the Bow Hill rest areas instead.

The change comes after a fatal crash at the intersection on Oct. 31, when an 11-year-old child was killed by a speeding driver who was going around 100 mph.

The man faces several charges, including assault, reckless driving and driving without a valid license.

Crews will continue to remove hazardous trees between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. over the next two days.

It may not be Santa Claus, but a larger-than-life figure coming to town could snarl your weekend travel plans.
