Construction Activities and Upcoming Work

Last week, Interwest Construction, Inc. (ICI) continued construction of the Engineered Log Jams (ELJs) at milepost 4 of Upper Hoh Road. This involved starting to finish the slopes behind and between the ELJs as they prepare to build the last ELJ structure in this stretch. At Tower Creek, ICI placed the last concrete for the bridge, completing the approach slabs. ICI has also continued to excavate, backfill, and grade to establish the roadway alignment shift to the new bridge. ICI will install the bridge rail and waterproofing membrane prior to paving the bridge and roadway on Aug. 29.

Impacts to Traffic

• Travelers can expect Temporary Traffic Control Flaggers and/or signals at MP 4 of Upper Hoh Rd for ELJ construction and at MP 7.8 for the Tower Creek Bridge construction.

• Rafters/kayakers/boaters: Please use caution near the active ELJ work areas. Please keep as far left in the river as possible when passing by the ELJs.

• Expect delays up to a total of 30 minutes per passage through the project corridor Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

• Olympic National Park and businesses along Upper Hoh Road will remain accessible at all times during construction.
