Starting Wednesday, WSDOT will place temporary speed limit signs along a short stretch of SR 503, also known as Lewis River Road, between mileposts 53.0 and 53.25 in Woodland
WOODLAND – To improve safety on State Route 503, the speed limit will be temporarily reduced.
Starting Wednesday, Oct. 22, Washington State Department of Transportation will place temporary speed limit signs along a short stretch of SR 503, also known as Lewis River Road, between mileposts 53.0 and 53.25 in Woodland.
The temporary speed reduction supports a nearby developer project along SR 503. During non-working hours, travelers will use a gravel lane and the 25 mph speed limit will help everyone move through the area safely.
What to expect
Wednesday, Oct. 22 through Wednesday, Nov. 5
- A single lane closure will be in place weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. while crews are working. Flaggers will direct travelers to take turns moving through the open lane.
- During non-working hours, the speed limit will be reduced from 35 mph to 25 mph each night and will stay in place through the weekend, from Saturday morning to Sunday night.
Travelers should slow down as they approach the work zone, follow directional signs and expect delays.
