Alternating traffic to be in place

SEKIU — Single-lane alternating traffic will begin today at milepost 6.55 on state Highway 113.

Flaggers will alternate traffic through the work zone as crews cut a temporary access road, clean up hillside debris, identify a clogged culvert and temporarily relocate the channel below, DOT said late Tuesday.

Work will take place each Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Feb. 25.

This work is separate from the emergency contracts underway along state Highway 112 in two locations due to landslides at Clallam Bay and Jim Creek.
