WSDOT has reported on its blog that at milepost 15.85, the emergency contractor is making progress towards reopening SR 112. Crews have removed 15,000 cubic yards of hillside debris. They are on schedule to reopen SR 112 at Clallam Bay in early spring 2022. Until then, travelers will continue to use the bypass route, Eagle Crest Way which is maintained weekly by construction crews.

Jim Creek

Further east at milepost 32, design solutions for Jim Creek are more complex. Through a rapid award and execution process, WSDOT anticipates construction to begin the week of March 7. Work will include ground drainage measures, improved surface drainage, and rebuilding the roadway. Repairs are expected to take 8 weeks to complete.
