A WSDOT project will make it easier for travelers in the Taylor Towne area of Mason County to access US 101 from Lynch Road, thanks to the addition of acceleration lanes in both directions. WSDOT designed the project to help reduce the potential for collisions and improve traffic flow. Each new acceleration lane is approximately a quarter-mile in length, which is similar to four football fields. Both are intended to help Lynch Road drivers reach highway speeds before merging onto the highway. The project also will create better sight distance for drivers stopped at Lynch Road turning left towards Olympia. Additional improvements include new highway illumination, additional guardrail and drainage systems. See more at the project web page:
