Current Wildcat Creek culvertNW Wildcat Creek Road
Culvert Replacement Project (CRP 3648)
This project replaces a significantly deteriorated culvert on NW Wildcat Lake Road south of Nikomis Lane with a
23-foot wide concrete structure. The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Suquamish Tribe have identified this culvert as the 4th most significant
fish-passage barrier in Kitsap County.

The culvert is located at the outlet of Wildcat Lake, which has several high quality streams. Replacing failing and small culverts opens up streams for fish passage and at the same time improves the roads and stormwater system. Removing this culvert will be a significant first step in restoring Wildcat Creek and its headwater tributary streams. Construction is expected to take place from August 6 through late September 2012.

At the culvert, Wildcat Lake Road will be closed to all through traffic from approximately August 1 through September 30. Please follow the detour route (click here to view map) around Wildcat Lake Road. We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. If construction is completed early, we will open the road.
