In May, crews finished replacing the lights inside Arch Cape Tunnel. The project, which began in January, involved removing the old sodium lights and installing high-efficiency LED lights throughout the entire 1200-foot tunnel.

According to ODOT, lighter traffic on Hwy 101 enabled crews to finish their work about two weeks ahead of schedule.
