Wynooche - Wishkah Road is a major collector route that connects the Wynooche Valley with the Wishkah Valley between the towns of Aberdeen and Montesano. The road has additional importance as an alternate to US 12 between the towns when the state highway is closed, particularly when it has flooded over.
The improved section had been the only remaining gravel surfaced portion of the route and had a number of hazardous sharp curves and grades.
The new realignment removed all the substandard curves, replaced and upgraded the drainage structures throughout, and provided a wider paved roadway section. Wynooche - Wishkah Road is now fit to safely handle the logging trucks, farm equipment and recreational traffic that travel on it regularly.
