SILVERDALE — Evening and early morning drivers who use the State Route 3 southbound Newberry Hill Road exit will need to prepare alternate routes next week.

For two nights next week, the exit ramp will be closed so Washington State Department of Transportation crews can repair the deteriorated parts of the roadway.

The ramp will be closed beginning at 9 p.m. Monday, July 9 and will reopen at 5 a.m. Tuesday, July 10. It will be closed a second time at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 11 and reopen at 5 a.m. on Thursday, July 12.

In the event of adverse weather, the work may be rescheduled.
