Shelton Matlock Road is an important Mason County Rural Major Collector near Shelton, Washington that serves commuters, recreational traffic and log and gravel haulers. Built in rolling terrain, it has a number of alignment issues that have come to the forefront as traffic has increased over the years. This recent project eliminated a set of severe S-Curves that have a history of severe accidents.
The roadway was also narrow at 22 feet wide with no shoulders, compounding the alignment deficiencies.
The new roadway is constructed to a safe, 50 mph design speed, correcting all of this section's alignment deficiencies. It was also paved with new hot mix asphalt. Shelton Matlock now safely serves the movement of all traffic types that depend on it, year round.
