Puyallup residents traveling on SR 9 will face alternating traffic through Sept. 14 due to fish passage construction near Kalloch Road (MP 59). The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced single-lane traffic with signals alternating northbound and southbound traffic. The work aims to improve fish habitat in the Nookachamp and Hansen creeks, part of a larger project to restore salmon runs. Delays are expected daily during construction hours. The project is scheduled to end on Sept. 14, 2026, with WSDOT providing updates on their website. Drivers should plan for traffic slowdowns in the area.
