SOUTH CONNECTION
ALTERNATIVE #$5
ONE OF TWO new proposals for the south end of the Belfair Bypass,
put out by DOT engineers last week, was this one, known as S-5. This
configuration calls for State Route 3 to remain the primary route for
north-south traffic.

THE NEW alignments, known
as S-5 and S-6, come in response to
a request from Mason County offi-
cials for an alternative that would
accommodate a future Rasor Road
connection to the bypass. The al-
ternatives were created north of
the railroad trestle and would
also reduce impacts to North Ma-
son School District property and
the Alta Vista neighborhood.
The latest southern bypass
designs are nearly identical but
with different emphasis. The S-5
design places traffic primarily on
existing State Route 3 and treats
the new bypass as a secondary
route. The S-6 approach would
place traffic primarily on the new
bypass while treating State Route
3 as a secondary route for motor-
ists.
Officials released four alterna-
tives at the north end and south
end of the bypass in January.
During an open house in April,
county officials and Allyn resi-
dents raised objections to all but
one of the southern alternatives,
known as S-1. That alternative,
which located the intersection
of State Route 3 and the bypass
near the school district bus barn,
was somewhat agreeable because
it allows for a Rasor Road con-
nection and was far enough away
from the Allyn Urban Growth
Area boundary. The other earlier
alternatives also posed problems
to the school district which plans
to use 40 acres of land off of State
Route 302 for future expansion.
THE NEWLY proposed alter-
natives would shorten the length
of the bypass, but also indicate
the need for a new bridge struc-
ture over the railroad tracks.
The S-1 proposal is predicted
to cost about $36.3 million, S-5
would cost about $31.6 million
and S-6 would cost about $35.2
million.
All of the alternatives call for
impacts to various residences. S-1
would affect the Alta Vista neigh-
borhood and require a frontage
road to serve some of the homes
located there. The S-5 option calls
for a small portion of State Route
3 to be turned into a frontage road
to serve Judy Lane. S-6, while im-
pacting some homeowners, mean-
while, does not include the need
for any frontage roads.
