Traffic delays next week in Monte

U.S. Highway 12 work to continue.

Travelers to and from Montesano should expect some delays this week.

The state Department of Transportation set work on the U.S. Highway 12 on- and off-ramps to the city between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18, and today, Sept. 19.

“(Travelers) will encounter one-way alternating traffic with flaggers,” said Tina Werner, spokeswoman for the DOT in an email. “… Crews will remove abandoned rail tracks embedded in the roadway and concrete panels. … Both ramps will remain open to traffic on Wednesday and Thursday, but drivers should expect brief delays during the removal and paving portions of the project.”
