Dry Creek Road connects US101 to Lower Elwha Road via Edgewood Drive. It has seen large increases in traffic over the last decade due to business development in the area.
Alignment was relatively straight but very narrow with steep ditches. Speed limit was 25 MPH with an 85th percentile speed of 34 MPH. Use has changed over the past decade and the road now operates primarily as a through route with heavy use to access Edgewood Drive to the Lower Elwha Road and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal reservation.
This project provided for safety improvements; slope flattening, widening, new surfacing, signage, and striping. It was also realigned in order to install a left turn lane off of Edgewood Drive.
