A pavement project will cause delays on Highway 101 beginning May 30 about four miles north of Hoquiam, according to a statement from the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Beginning 6 a.m. Wednesday, May 30, drivers who use Highway 101 near Hoquiam will encounter around-the-clock single-lane closures through 11:59 p.m. Friday, June 1, as construction crews begin a three-mile pavement preservation project in Grays Harbor County. Preliminary work kicks off by removing asphalt and repairing concrete over the Bernard Creek Bridge south of Ocean Beach Road.

Paving will resume Monday, June 4, and last through Friday, June 8, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Crews will reduce northbound US 101 between Junction State Route 109 and Ocean Beach Road to a single lane of alternating traffic.

Continuing work in late June, crews will focus on paving the highway. Starting Thursday, June 28, motorists can expect to encounter lane closures each weekday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through the summer. No work will occur July 3 through July 5.
