PORT ANGELES — The state Department of Transportation has closed a section of state Highway 112 near Pysht due to roadway settlement and sloughing after the recent heavy rainfall.
According to a press release, one section of the roadway has settled more than 18 inches across both lanes of travel.
The roadway between mileposts 31 and 39 will be assessed by an engineering geologist from WSDOT.
Until repairs can be made, traffic through that area will need to follow U.S. Highway 101 and state Highway 113.
WSDOT will provide email updates and use the WSDOT blog to report on this closure. Follow WSDOT on Twitter for updates as well.
