Summary:

Lewis County has determined that the culvert on Jones Road at milepost 1.715 has deteriorated to the point where unrestricted travel would pose a hazard to the traveling public. It will be necessary to restrict all vehicles exceeding 10,000lbs/5 tons over Jones Road. Jones Road will remain open to all vehicles below 10,000lbs/5 tons. This resolution would, pursuant to RCW 47.48.010 and .020 and RCW 46.44.080, restrict the use of Jones Road for vehicles exceeding 10,000lbs/5 tons beginning at the Little Hanaford Road intersection to the Hurd Road intersection in Section 17, Township 14 North, Range 1 West, W.M. Beginning June 28, 2021 and ending at such time the structure is upgraded to support these vehicles.
