State Route 101, Ruby Beach Vicinity, Jefferson County, Washington, Administrative Action, Final, Negative Declaration
1977. State Route 101, Ruby Beach Vicinity, Jefferson County, Washington, Administrative Action, Final, Negative Declaration. U.S. Department of Transportation; Washington State Department of Highways. Olympia, WA
The proposed highway improvement consists of the realignment and reconstruction of a 0.4 mile section of State Route 101 in the vicinity of Olympic National Park's access trail to Ruby Beach in Jefferson County. The project would eliminate the existing hazardous reverse curve condition in the highway alignment. The existing two-lane roadway, classified as a major highway, is heavily used by both tourist and commercial traffic. The primary benefit of the proposed safety improvement project would be to decrease accident frequency and severity. Important secondary benefits include the additional parking area and improved ingress and egress that would be provided at the head of the access trail to Ruby Beach. The proposed curve realignment will involve an exchange of approximately three acres of right-of-way with the National Park Service.
