NW Hite Center Road
Culvert Replacement Project (CRP 3650)
A severe storm in December 2007 washed out the existing culvert and road embankment. The current
36 inch culvert was placed as an emergency, temporary fix until an appropriately sized replacement could be designed and constructed. The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife assisted in the determination of the appropriate channel width for this drainage basin which resulted in the proposed 12 foot span concrete structure. A new stream channel will be constructed through the new structure with streambed aggregate and rock bands for long term sustainability of the project. This new widened channel allows for fish passage under the roadway and provides long term safe access for Hite Center residents.
A single lane, temporary bypass will be maintained throughout the project duration.

Replacing the existing CMP culverts with a bridge and realigning the roadway will:

• Allow for fish passage under the roadway
  
• Provide safer, long term access to the residents west of the Seabeck Creek crossing.
