Construction set to start on Highway 101 widening project

November 26th, 2012 - 6:14am

(Port Angeles) -- Construction is set to begin January 7th to widen the last two-lane section of Highway 101 between Port Angeles and Sequim.

A Kent Company has been awarded the job, handing in the lowest-winning bid of just over 27-million dollars.

Scarsella Brothers is the same company that built the Sequim Bypass more than a decade ago.

This time, the company will change about four miles of two-lane highway into four lanes with a median.

The state awarded the bid last week, which came in almost ten million dollars below estimates.
