The accelerating traffic headed north on Clear Creek. Additionally, small cars headed north on Clear Creek often move into a 'blind spot' behind larger vehicles in the right turn lane. It's now postponed indefinitely. Commuting from Port Orchard to Tacoma has led me to the discovery of two missing miles from Milepost 9 to Milepost 5 both ways. I've measured it in numerous cars, and it always comes out to two miles, not four, between those mileposts.
Highway engineers are loathe to renumber the mileposts along highways.
All the state's construction records and highway accident data use them. So they renumbered Highway 16 up to the bridge and left the numbers unchanged on the west side. Two miles and change disappeared in the process. I doubt the state has the missing two miles stored somewhere, but you never know. There are a few hundred feet of unused pontoon for the Hood Canal Bridge floating in Gamble Bay waiting to be needed.
