Expect overnight lane closures on US 101 in Aberdeen and Hoquiam this week for asphalt repairs.

The Washington State Department of Transportation tells KXRO that maintenance crews plan to  perform nighttime asphalt repairs on Simpson Avenue in Hoquiam and E Heron Street in Aberdeen this week.

They say that the work is to extend the life of the highway.

Work is scheduled to happen overnight when traffic volumes are lower. 

During the closures, a single southbound lane at both locations will be blocked off to travelers heading south.

No lane closures are scheduled at this time for northbound US 101.

 US 101/Simpson Avenue overnight repairs:

• On Wednesday, July 31, travelers will encounter a single, southbound lane closure between 6th Street and 28th street starting at 9 p.m. for pavement repairs. A signed detour will be in place. All lanes will reopen by 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

US 101/E Heron Street overnight repairs:

• On Thursday, Aug. 1, travelers will encounter a single, southbound lane closure between S Jefferson Street and F Street starting at 9 p.m. A signed detour will be in place. Northbound US 101 travelers crossing the Chehalis River Bridge will follow S G Street, E Wishkah St, S H Street and back to E Heron Street to continue onto southbound US 101. All lanes will reopen by 5:30 a.m. Friday.

The work will be weather dependent and may be rescheduled as necessary.
