SR 202/Mud Creek to Snoqualmie River - Fish Passage Project

Project overview

This project will remove the fish barrier on State Route 202 just east of Fall City at Mud Creek. The project will also improve the safety and reliability of SR 202 by addressing the need for frequent emergency maintenance and channel dredging at the crossing due to sedimentation and flooding of the roadway during winter storm events. Contractor crews working for WSDOT will reroute Mud Creek 325 feet east from its current location on SR 202 and build a bridge to allow more natural creek flow and reduce flooding.

Timeline
Construction begins in 2027 and runs through 2028.
Project status
Pre-construction
Funding
$22 Million from Pre-Existing Funds

What to expect

A temporary bypass around the worksite will be created to allow two lanes of traffic through the area during construction. A staging area will be established that minimizes impact for travelers and residents, yet also allows access for work crews. Travelers can expect lane restrictions, lane reduction with flaggers and short delays for work equipment coming and leaving the site. In addition, there will be a short roadway closure to  connect the roadway to the new bridge.

This project will improve fish passage under SR 202, just east of Fall City at Mud Creek.
