Input needed for proposed roundabout, fish passage project on Waaga Way (SR 303) near Silverdale

SILVERDALE – The Washington State Department of Transportation is proposing a new roundabout at Northeast Waaga Way (State Route 303) and Central Valley Road Northeast. The work is part of a project to remove multiple barriers to fish migration under the highway.

The approach using the roundabout will have multiple benefits, including:

• Provide a transition that slows traffic east of the overpass.
• Shorten the overall construction timeline.
• Reduce the overall cost.
• Improve natural habitat for fish and wildlife.

Two open houses – one online and another in-person – are an opportunity to learn about WSDOT fish barrier removal efforts, ask questions and provide feedback.

There is no formal presentation during the in-person open house. Participants can ask questions directly to WSDOT engineers. People can come and go as they please during the two-hour event.
