Wishkah Road is a major collector that plays an important role in moving timber from the forrests in north Grays Harbor County to wood products mills in the area and the Port of Grays Harbor. The route also serves as a detour around highway 101 for traffic seeking access to the north end of the county and Olympic National Park recreation.

The project section had two substandard horizontal curves and vertical curves. Residents in the project area also had to deal with limited sight distances at their property access points.

The project realigned Wishkah Road, bringing it up to standards in the project area. Sight distances were also greatly improved at the locations of residential access.
