Montesano, Wash. – Middle Satsop Road between mileposts 3.0 and 3.3 has reopened, restoring access while construction continues.
According to the Grays Harbor County Department of Public Works, the roadway segment is now open to traffic following recent work. The stretch, located near Montesano, currently consists of two lanes with a gravel surface and will remain in that condition until paving is completed at a later date.
Officials said a reduced speed limit is in effect through the area due to ongoing construction conditions. Traffic that had previously been detoured to East Satsop Road can now return to the original route.
The county emphasized that the site will remain an active work zone in the coming weeks. Drivers should expect flaggers and one-way alternating traffic during weekday work hours. Crews will also continue monitoring the roadway for any additional movement or instability as work progresses.
The reopening is expected to ease travel for local residents and commuters who rely on the route for daily access through the area. Some students and younger drivers using the road for school or work commutes may see shorter travel times compared to recent detours.
Officials are urging motorists to use caution, follow posted signs, and adhere to reduced speed limits when traveling through the construction zone.
