State Route 9 will operate as a single lane near Kalloch Road (MP 59) with alternating northbound and southbound traffic through a bypass road starting Aug. 3 and lasting until Sept. 14. The change is part of a fish passage construction project for unnamed tributaries of Nookachamps and Hansen Creeks. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) states the project aims to improve fish habitat. Drivers should expect delays in the area during the construction period. The single-lane operation will continue until the project concludes on Sept. 14 at 8 a.m.
