Construction Activities and Upcoming Work

Last week on Upper Hoh River Road, ICI continued work on the Engineered Log Jams (ELJ’s) at MP 3.5 and began installing temporary shoring using timber lagging between piles at the box culvert project site at MP 4.0. Condon Johnson mobilized onto the site and are drilling tieback anchors allowing excavation on the outlet side of the road to continue down to the bottom elevation of the new culvert.

On Aug. 5, ICI actively began working in the Hoh River installing temporary diversion at the box culvert sitem at MP 4.0. Boaters and rafters please use caution when passing through this stretch of the river extending out from the culvert work zone.

Impacts to Traffic

• One lane traffic within both work zones with flaggers at the culvert (MP 3.5) and temporary traffic lights at ELJ’s (MP 4.0).

• Expect delays up to a total of 30 minutes per passage through the project corridor during weekdays 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

• Rafters/kayakers/boaters: Please use caution near both active work areas. Please keep as far left in the river as possible when passing by the ELJs and the box culvert work site.

• Access to the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center and businesses along Upper Hoh Rd. remain accessible at all times during construction.

This project is expected to be completed in early October 2023.
