About

Enlarged project area mapA storm in January 2022 caused Messing Creek to flood and washed out the culvert at milepost 11.6. We installed a temporary fix until we could design something permanent. 

We built a new bridge to replace the failing culvert and to support the river crossing. 

This will improve fish passage through the area while making it safer for vehicles and pedestrians to use the road.

Past Meetings and Events
