SR3 changes in Belfair

People using state Route 3 will soon see a pair of changes while traveling through Belfair.

Beginning Monday, left-hand turns from Northeast Ridgepoint Boulevard onto Route 3 will be restricted. Drivers will need to use the roundabout at Log Yard Road in order to travel south.

The state Department of Transportation plans to install signs on the roadways Monday.

Also, beginning in October, the speed limit on Route 3 from mileposts 25.4 to 26.9 will be reduced to 30 mph. A release from the state says the reduced speed limit is enforcable as soon as the signs are uncovered.

According to the release, the changes are the result of a WSDOT study in coordination with the Washington State Patrol to improve traffic safety in the area.
