Tree removal will slow SR 8 traffic

Trees that could cause a hazard are being removed next week, WSDOT says.

If you’re driving between Olympia and McCleary during the day next week you might allow some extra time, the state Department of Transportation says.

According to a release, WSDOT crews will “remove potential hazard trees” along state Route 8 between Olympia and McCleary causing slowdowns and closures of the shoulder.

The work will be done between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
