SR 305/Murden Creek - Remove Fish Barrier - Completed November 2023

Correcting fish passage barriers is an important part of WSDOT's efforts to protect and restore fish runs.

A 2013 federal court injunction required WSDOT to significantly increase the state’s efforts to remove state-owned culverts that block habitat for salmon, bull trout, and steelhead.

Crews will replace an outdated culvert with a new 120-foot bridge. Crews also will build features that will replicate a natural stream. The improvements support every life cycle of fish.
