ABERDEEN –  travelers in south Aberdeen will soon see a new stop signal as crews will activate the new signal at US 101 and State Route 105 by noon on Tuesday, Aug. 15.

The improvements include new traffic signals with an additional crosswalk on US 101. The new crosswalk allows pedestrians to cross US 101 from the south side of the road towards Sky Sweeps Park on the north side and back. The sidewalks at the intersection also have upgrades that meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Stop here on red
Drivers heading south off the Chehalis River Bridge onto SR 105 will now have to stop when the pedestrian crossing signal activates. This is a change from the continuous green light that was previously in place there. To keep all roadway users safe, please pay attention and drive the posted speed.

Almost done
While work is nearly complete, there is a little more left. Leading up to the signal activation, travelers will see lane closures in either direction on US 101 and SR 105. Crews will also return in a few weeks after the new asphalt cures to apply the pavement markings.
