Detour on State Route 4 north of Cathlamet begins Monday, August 17.
Here's the latest (Friday morning) word from the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Culvert replacement work will result in highway traffic being detoured onto Elochoman Valley, Foster and Risk roads.
Here's the department's statement:
"Drivers and bicyclists who use State Route 4 west of Cathlamet should plan for an eight-week detour this summer.
"Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will temporarily close both directions of SR 4 between Risk Road and Elochoman Valley Road from Monday, Aug. 17 to Oct. 2.
"During the closure, crews will replace two small-scale culverts with two larger fish-friendly box culverts. The new culverts measure 12 feet tall and up to 20 feet wide.
“Replacing culverts this size is challenging work, and not something we can do overnight,” said Project Engineer Lori Figone. “More than 2,200 vehicles use this highway each day. While we have a detour in place, drivers should be prepared for backups.”
