Drivers who use the North Cascades Highway (SR 20) will see a permanent speed limit reduction along a mile-long stretch through Lyman in Skagit County.
The speed limit will be reduced from 55 mph to 50 mph in both directions of SR 20 through Lyman between mileposts 73.63 and 74.73, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Lyman is about nine miles east of Sedro-Woolley.
“The decision to reduce the speed limit was made in response to community safety concerns, a review of speed and collision data, and coordination with the town of Lyman,” WSDOT said.
Crews will replace existing speed limit signs this week. The new speed limit is enforceable as soon as the signs are installed.
