State Route 9 will operate with a single lane near Kalloch Road (MP 59) from Aug. 3 to Sept. 14 for fish passage construction. Traffic will alternate using a bypass road during this period.

WSDOT says delays are expected in the area. The project aims to improve fish habitat along the river. Puyallup residents using SR 9 for daily commutes or errands should plan for longer travel times.

The work is part of a larger project to restore fish passage at unnamed tributaries near Nookachamps and Hansen Creeks. The project webpage provides more details.
