Mason - Bear Creek Dewatto Rd. (Tiger)

Project Number: 2323-01
From milepost 1.53 to milepost 1.96
RATA Funds: $913,500
Legislative District: 35
Status: PE and Design
Date Approved: 2023
Bear Creek Dewatto Road is the primary connection between Belfair and the Dewatto area. This section of the roadway, between MP 1.53 to MP 1.96, has two deficient horizontal reverse curves with advisory speed limits of 15 MPH. The ADT is 2,600. The inadequate line of sight and sub-standard design contributes to an abnormally high collision rate. This road section has narrow lanes and shoulders and does not meet Mason County, WSDOT or AASHTO current road design standards. These horizontal curves will be brought up to current standards for the posted speed of 35 mph along with shoulder widening, and clear zone improvements.
