The Thurston/Grays Harbor County line is the location of a new roundabout at the intersection of US 12 and Anderson Road. Contractor crews began work Monday, July 6, on the project that builds a modern, single-lane roundabout large enough to accommodate emergency vehicles, logging trucks and farm vehicles. Roundabouts reduce the potential for collisions and this project will make it easier for Anderson Road traffic to merge. Roundabouts also move traffic through an intersection more quickly and with less congestion. When the work is completed during fall 2020, drivers will use a three-legged single-lane roundabout that accommodates US 12 and Anderson Road south of US 12. Anderson Road north of US 12 will close permanently. Drivers who use that roadway will reach US 12 via Sickman-Ford or Moon Road Southwest.
