Mason - Bear Creek Dewatto Road

Project Number: 2323-02
From milepost 0.43 to milepost 1.02
RATA Funds: $594,000
Legislative District: 35
Status: PE and Design
Date Approved: 2023
Bear Creek Dewatto Road is the primary connection between Belfair and the Dewatto area with an ADT of 2,600. This section of the roadway, between MP 0.43 and MP 1.02, has deficient horizontal curves for line of sight, radius, and posted speed, which contributes to an abnormally high accident rate. This road section has narrow lanes and shoulders and does not meet Mason County, WSDOT or AASHTO road design standards. This section will be re-aligned horizontally to meet current standards for the posted speed of 35 mph along with shoulder widening, and clear zone improvements.
