'''State Route&nbsp;3''' ('''SR&nbsp;3''') is a {{convert|59.81|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} state highway in the U.S. state of Washington, serving the Kitsap Peninsula in Mason and Kitsap counties. The highway begins at U.S. Route&nbsp;101 (US&nbsp;101) south of Shelton and travels northeast onto the Kitsap Peninsula through Belfair to Gorst, where it intersects SR&nbsp;16 and begins its freeway. SR&nbsp;3 travels west of Bremerton, Silverdale and Poulsbo before it terminates at the eastern end of the Hood Canal Bridge, signed as SR&nbsp;104. The highway is designated as a Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) corridor under the National Highway System as the main thoroughfare connecting both parts of Naval Base Kitsap and is also part of the Highways of Statewide Significance program.

SR&nbsp;3 was established during the 1964 highway renumbering and codified in 1970 as the successor to Secondary State Highway&nbsp;14 (SSH&nbsp;14) from Shelton to Belfair, Primary State Highway&nbsp;14 (PSH&nbsp;14) from Belfair to Gorst, and PSH&nbsp;21 from Gorst to the Hood Canal Bridge. PSH&nbsp;21 was previously part of State Road&nbsp;21 from 1915 to 1937, while PSH&nbsp;14 was part of State Road&nbsp;14 and the Navy Yard Highway from 1919 to 1937. The present SR&nbsp;3 freeway was opened in 1968 in the Bremerton area and was extended north to Silverdale in 1973, to Bangor in 1981, and to Poulsbo in 1983.

Every year, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2011, WSDOT calculated that the busiest section of SR&nbsp;3 was between SR&nbsp;16 in Gorst and SR&nbsp;304 in Navy Yard City, serving 69,000 vehicles, while the least busiest section was southwest of Allyn-Grapeview at an intersection with Grapeview Loop Road, serving 6,600 vehicles.<ref name="ATR">{{cite web |author=Staff |year=2011 |title=2011 Annual Traffic Report |publisher=Washington State Department of Transportation |url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/travel/pdf/Annual_Traffic_Report_2011.pdf |pages=64–66 |access-date=March 5, 2013 |archive-date=June 13, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130613043942/http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/travel/pdf/Annual_Traffic_Report_2011.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> SR&nbsp;3 is designated as a STRAHNET corridor within National Highway System, connecting Naval Base Kitsap to the state highway system between Gorst and Bangor, while the rest of the highway is part of the system, which includes roadways important to the national economy, defense, and mobility.<ref name="NHS">{{cite map |publisher=Federal Highway Administration |title=National Highway System: Washington |url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/nhs_maps/washington/wa_washington.pdf |date=October 1, 2012 |access-date=March 5, 2013}}</ref><ref name="NHS-about">{{cite web |title=What is the National Highway System? |url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/ |publisher=Federal Highway Administration |date=September 26, 2012 |access-date=March 5, 2013}}</ref> WSDOT designates the entire route of SR&nbsp;3 as a Highway of Statewide Significance,<ref name="HSS-list">{{cite web |title=Transportation Commission List of Highways of Statewide Significance |url=https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2006/03/16/HSSlist2009mod2.pdf |publisher=Washington State Transportation Commission |date=July 26, 2009 |access-date=March 5, 2013 |archive-date=July 24, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130724190950/http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/50EC9EB9-DB3D-4823-B5D2-5348409FB8CE/0/HSSlist2009mod2.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> which includes highways that connect major communities in the state of Washington.<ref name="HSS-about">{{cite web |last=Lorenzo |first=Judy |title=Highways of Statewide Significance |url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/planning/HSS/Default.htm |publisher=Washington State Department of Transportation |access-date=March 5, 2013}}</ref>

In the 2000s, WSDOT re-built the interchange between SR&nbsp;3 and SR&nbsp;303 in Silverdale at a cost of $26 million, paid for by a 2003 gas tax. The new interchange, opened in November 2007, split the western terminus of SR&nbsp;303 between two exits, signed as 45A and 45B,<ref name="log"/> and removed a loop ramp that created turning conflicts.<ref name="int-303"/><ref name="WSDOT-waaga">{{cite web |last=Cook |first=Jeff |date=November 2007 |title=SR 3 - SR 303 Interchange (Waaga Way) - Complete November 2007 |url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr3/waagaway/ |publisher=Washington State Department of Transportation |access-date=March 5, 2013}}</ref> WSDOT began study of a Belfair bypass in 1966 and completed a provisional report in 2010 that did not recommend constructing a bypass of the community,<ref name="WSDOT-bypass10">{{cite web |last=Dayton |first=Kevin |title=Belfair Bypass Provisio Report |date=June 23, 2010 |pages=2, 7 |url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/18512C17-53C8-46A7-9516-133D61EB3184/0/BelfairProvisoFinalReport.pdf |publisher=Washington State Department of Transportation |access-date=March 5, 2013}}</ref> instead opting for a project to widen the highway and add safety improvements that began work in late 2013.<ref name="WSDOT-bypass13">{{cite web |last=Fuchs |first=Steve |title=SR 3 - Belfair Area - Widening and Safety Improvements |url=http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr3/belfairimprovements/ |publisher=Washington State Department of Transportation |access-date=March 5, 2013}}</ref> The project was revived later in the decade and is scheduled to be completed by 2026, carrying the new alignment of SR&nbsp;3 while the existing road remains as a business route through Belfair.<ref>{{cite news |last=Shephard Bull |first=Arla |date=February 13, 2019 |title=State selects firm to design Belfair bypass |url=https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/local/2019/02/13/state-selects-firm-design-belfair-bypass/2861552002/ |work=Kitsap Sun |access-date=November 4, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=SR 3 - Freight Corridor - New Alignment |url=https://wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr3/freight/home |publisher=Washington State Department of Transportation |access-date=November 4, 2021}}</ref> {{clear}}
