Several close calls in recent weeks between drivers and constructions workers have prompted WSDOT to lower the speed limit. There was a serious collision near the Miller Road intersection several weeks ago that sent two WSDOT surveyors to the hospital and severely damaged both vehicles involved.
The speed limit near Meadow Creek has been temporarily reduced to 40 mph for the last year because of construction in the area.
Drivers need to be alert and mindful while driving through work zones. The lowered speed limit alone will not keep everyone safe. There are sharp corners and hills that reduce visibility in the area, making it difficult to see what is ahead.
