SR 9 near Kalloch Road (milepost 59) will operate with alternating single-lane traffic starting Aug. 3, 2026, through Sept. 14, 2026, for fish passage construction, according to Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) public records.

The project will require travelers to use a bypass road with alternating northbound and southbound traffic, causing delays. WSDOT states the work will last 42 days until Sept. 14, 2026, at 8 a.m.

The construction is part of a larger effort to improve fish passage at unnamed tributaries of Nookachamps and Hansen Creeks, with more details available on WSDOT's project webpage.
