This project will plan, design, and construct a new bridge over Plum Creek and widen the roadway to provide a safe crossing during flooding and high-intensity storm events. The existing low-water crossing includes a culvert and two deteriorating 10-foot lanes without shoulders, within approximately 40 feet of right of way.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Upgrading the drainage culvert

• Widening and reconstructing the road to include:

  • One 12-foot lane in each direction

  • Shoulders and abridge rail over the creek

COST: $5.5M

PURPOSE

• Mitigate flooding risks

• Provide a safer and more reliable creek crossing

• Enhance overall roadway safety

RIGHT OF WAY

This project may require additional right of way to complete construction. Once design is underway, a better estimate of right-of-way needs will be determined.

SCHEDULE

DESIGN: 2025 — 2027

CONSTRUCTION: 2028 — 2029

The existing low-water crossing will be evaluated to determine its capacity and future needs. Design is expected to be completed by late 2027, with construction anticipated to begin in early 2028. Construction will be phased over approximately 15 months. All timelines are estimates and will be updated as the project progresses.
