Improved road surface planned for SR 105

Work begins this month, continues through late summer

Drivers on State Route 105 between south Aberdeen and the Stafford Creek Corrections Center may want to consider planning extra time to their trips this summer. Crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation plan to kick off a road surface rehabilitation project this month.

During the work, drivers will encounter daytime one-way alternating traffic. Drivers are advised to be prepared for delays and drive through the construction zone with caution. The speed limit will be temporarily reduced between mileposts 41.98 and 47.66 during the chip seal project. The current speed limit of 55 mph will lower to 35 mph during construction activities.

The preliminary work will begin in June. The chip seal work will begin in late summer. Inclement weather could increase the time the project is under way.
