Starting Monday, August 10, multiple road closures and alternating traffic patterns will affect Olympic Peninsula highways.

State Route 9 at Nelson Road will see alternating traffic due to roadwork, and State Route 169 will close for 35 days between Southeast 332nd Street and Plass Road for fish barrier removal. State Route 96 will alternate traffic daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. for utilities work.

The closures are scheduled to end between August 14 and September 21, with detours in place for most affected routes.
