Olympic National Park, together with the Federal Highway Administration, is seeking public input on the proposed rehabilitation of U.S. Highway 101 and East Beach Road within the park’s Lake Crescent area.

The Environmental Assessment (EA) for Highway 101 and East Beach Road Rehabilitation was released April 1 and is available online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov.

The proposed rehabilitation project includes resurfacing the 12.3-mile section of Highway 101, replacing over 44,000 linear feet of guardrail and replacing drainage structures and retaining walls.

On East Beach Road, drainage structures will be replaced and safety and pavement conditions improved.

Rehabilitation work is slated to begin in 2017, but the schedule is still subject to change.

Hard copies of the EA for the Highway 101 and East Beach Road Rehabilitation are available for public review at the reference desks of the four North Olympic Library System branches.

Call 565-3015 for more information.
