History
A road connecting Fort Flagler State Park and Marrowstone Island with Indian Island and Port Hadlock-Irondale on the Olympic Peninsula has existed and been paved since the late 1960s. The roadway was codified in 1991 as SR 116, traveling east from newly-created SR 19 and was formally added to the state highway system on April 1, 1992. The bridge over the Port Townsend Ship Canal, also known as the Portage Canal, was retrofitted by WSDOT in late 2007 and early 2008 to add safer railings for pedestrians.
