The Old Olympic Highway is a high speed major collector serving much of the region lying north of State Highway 101 in the Sequim area. The Old Olympic Highway extends 10 miles from Fairview to Sequim and, as such, it serves as a primary route of travel and the only alternative to US 101 for many local residents. The entire area was formerly agricultural but is developing into residential usage. Present trends indicate continued residential development. The road is part of school bus and mail routes and is used as a US 101 emergency bypass by WSDOT.
This section of Old Olympic Highway was too narrow and in need of some horizontal realignment and safety improvements
This project reconstructed the road to provide adequate sight distance and widened the road to 40 feet which includes two 12 foot lanes and two 8 foot shoulders. The roadside slopes were flattened or protected with guardrail. Channelization was added at the intersection of Barr/Gunn Roads. Reconstruction of the base to modern standards appropriate for current and future ADT will allow this important road to serve the public in the decades to come. Surfacing is Hot Mix Asphalt.
