The six-week closure of Green River Road SE that had been scheduled to begin in August has been cancelled. Construction on this project was required by permit to occur during the annual fish window, June 1 through Sept. 30, when migrating salmon are less likely to be present. The County was not able to acquire the precast concrete culvert needed for construction prior to reaching the end of the fish window.
The project is now planned for construction next summer. At that time, a newer, bigger culvert will be installed to help preserve the roadway and improve fish passage. Communication materials will be distributed next year when the new closure date is finalized.
