Emergency slide repairs underway on SR 109 in Taholah

Alternating traffic, temporary speed reduction remains in place

 TAHOLAH – Following a November slide, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation have begun repairs on State Route 109 north of Moclips in the Quinault Indian Nation, just south of Capoeman Drive.

 WSDOT’s emergency contractor, Rognlin’s, Inc., has started clearing the slide located at milepost 39. Crews will rebuild the hillside and repair the roadway. A 25-mph speed limit and one-way alternating traffic will remain in place until the project is complete. 

The contractor expects to have the repairs completed in February. The work is weather dependent. 

 Why this is needed In early November, heavy rains triggered a slide that washed out the soil around a culvert under SR 109. Following an inspection of the adjacent hillside and roadway, WSDOT maintenance crews closed the southbound lane until repairs could be made.

5 Day Overnight Closure For Simpson Ave Bridge Coming Next Week

 A smoother ride along a four-mile stretch of US 101 between Aberdeen and Hoquiam is almost here. Before that can happen, crews must close the US 101 Hoquiam River Simpson Avenue Bridge over several nights for grinding and paving. Rognlin’s Inc. crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will pave portions of the highway leading up to the bridge during overnight hours when traffic volumes are less. Nearby residents may hear increased noise levels from construction activities.

8 p.m. Monday through Friday May 17- 21 to 6 a.m. each following day:

  • Crews will work at the intersection of US 101/10th Street approaching the bridge.
  • A signed detour will direct eastbound travelers to the US 101 Hoquiam River Riverside Bridge, where two-way travel will be temporarily allowed.
  • The work and associated nightly closures could be rescheduled due to weather.

Portable message signs placed near the work zone advise travelers to plan ahead to avoid delays.

This project extends the life of the highway for years to come while reducing annual maintenance costs. Work will wrap up later this summer.
