One lane on a short stretch of Highway 19 near Chimacum was closed to traffic last week after the roadway was undercut by scouring from stormwater.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, a 25-mph speed limit and one-way alternating traffic has been put in place between Chimacum Road and Swansonville Road until further notice.
The southbound lane is closed around-the-clock as a precaution until repairs are developed and implemented, according to transportation officials. Geologists have been to the site to evaluate the roadway, but it is unknown how long repairs will take.
Travelers can expect congestion approaching the lane closure, and a temporary signal is in place to limit vehicles to one-way alternating traffic in the northbound lane.
