WSDOT opening detour at SR 4 culvert blowout

The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to use an old section of highway as a detour while it repairs the culvert blowout at milepost 3.1 just west of Naselle.

The department has announced this schedule:

Friday, Jan. 9 to Saturday, Jan. 10: Closure on SR 4 will remain on both directions due to a culvert collapse. Paving work will begin, as crews work to replace the culvert and repave SR 4. All work is weather dependent.

Saturday, Jan. 10: A temporary detour is being constructed to connect SR 4 to a bypass road, and is expected to be open by Saturday, Jan. 10.
