SR 104 and Shine Road/Paradise Bay - Intersection Safety Improvement Project

The intersection of State Route 104 and Shine Road/Paradise Bay in Jefferson County near the Hood Canal Bridge has a history of serious-injury collisions. In early 2019, we conducted a formal analysis called an Intersection Control Evaluation which considered safety needs, operational efficiencies and area traffic volumes with the goal of identifying improvements for the traveling public. The study recommendation was to build a single-lane, metered roundabout at the intersection to reduce the probability of collisions and improve traffic flow. We are moving forward with that design recommendation and also plan to make similar safety improvements to the intersection of SR 104/Beaver Valley Road (SR 19) further west. Both projects are anticipated to begin construction sometime between 2021-2023.
