The Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD) of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in partnership with Jefferson County, proposes constructing bank stabilization and bridge and culvert improvements in six locations along the Upper Hoh River Road (UHRR). Located in western Jefferson County between U.S. Highway 101 (US 101) and the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center, the UHRR provides access to the Olympic National Park (ONP) and private properties along the road. The road was built in the 1930s, when ONP was established, and is the primary western access to the park.
