PORT ANGELES, WA: Four-hour delays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm are planned for Highway 101 at Lake Crescent beginning Monday, November 12 to remove a rock hazard. Due to the unpredictable nature of the rock removal operation, a 4-hour delay may also be needed Tuesday and Wednesday depending on the progress.  
 
To avoid the delay, drivers should plan to be through the area prior to 9:00 am. For information in real-time check the WSDOT Traffic Alert website at https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/trafficalerts/.
 
During the delays, travelers to and from the western side of the peninsula can use SR 112/113 as an alternate route. Highway 101 eastbound from Forks will remain open up to the turn for Barnes Point where Lake Crescent Lodge, NatureBridge, and the trailheads are located. Highway 101 westbound from Port Angeles will be open up to mile marker 232/East Beach Road. 
 
Guardrail installation will continue west of the Lake Crescent Lodge area between mileposts 224-228 during the 4-hour delays. Drivers should continue to expect half-hour delays Monday through Friday during work hours.  Work is no longer restricted to two hours after sunrise to two hours before sunset.
