Roads are closed at Lake Crescent, Highway 112

PORT ANGELES — Sections of two state highways are temporarily closed, the state Department of Transportation said.

The sections include U.S. Highway 101 at Lake Crescent and two locations on state Highway 112.

At Lake Crescent, a slide has closed both directions of the highway at milepost 229.5. State maintenance crews will assess what is needed to reopen the highway, WSDOT said. It is unknown when the highway will reopen.

Meanwhile, there is a closure at state Highway 112 near state Highway 113 between mileposts 23.2 and 29.9 due to high water. The highway will reopen once water levels have dropped and crews can assess the roadway, WSDOT said.

Crews also are responding to a report of a slide on state Highway 112 between mileposts 4 and 5.

Real-time information is available via the WSDOT app and WSDOT Travel Center Map.
