A 48-mile-long stretch of U.S. 101 along Hood Canal has been closed to traffic since Sunday while crews have been removing fallen trees and restoring power lines following a massive snowstorm that left 4,000 residents and businesses without electricity.
The state Department of Transportation said late Wednesday they will reopen the highway between Hoodsport and state Route 104 by Thursday evening.
“It’s when utility crews have the lines cleared from the roadway and we have tree debris removed from the highway,” said WSDOT spokesperson Cara Mitchell.
New snow forecast for the region could push that back, Mitchell said.
