January 10, 2024



CONWAY — SR 534 opened to two-way traffic Monday morning, making it easier for parents to take their children to Conway Elementary School. Traffic had been restricted since the Olympic Pipeline vault gasoline leak Dec. 10. Cleanup crews have been at work at nearby Bulson Creek (Hill Ditch) and in the vicinity.

Temporary closures may occur as flaggers facilitate truck movement in and out of the response area. Conway Hill Road has returned to one-way westerly traffic the unified command coordinating the spill response reported Jan. 7.

Approximately 25,326 gallons of gasoline leaked and some 8,325 gallons were recovered through Dec. 29.

The unified command consists of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Washington Department of Ecology, Skagit County Department of Emergency Management, bp and the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community.

Status updates are posted on the Department of Ecology’s website: ecology.wa.gov/OlympicPipelineSpill.
