State Route 9 north of Sedro-Woolley will remain reduced to a single lane until Sept. 24 due to unforeseen construction issues, extending the project by 10 days from the original 42-day timeline.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) began work on Aug. 3 to remove a culvert blocking fish passage on Hansen Creek. The project also includes installing a new 18-foot fish-passable structure. A second fish barrier project near Mount Vernon will install a 20-foot culvert on Nookachamps Creek, with a planned seven-day closure starting Aug. 12.
