SR 305/Sam Snyder Creek – Remove Fish Barrier

From 8 p.m. each night Monday, April 8 through Wednesday, April 10 to 5 a.m. travelers using State Route 305 near Suquamish will want to add up to 30 minutes of time into their trip.

Project overview

This project will remove two existing 270-foot-long, 36-inch-diameter concrete pipe culverts on State Route 305 outside of Poulsbo at the Sam Snyder Creek crossing and replace them with a single 239-foot-long steel girder bridge. General work activities include: clearing and grubbing, earthwork structure installation, paving, stream profile realignment and streambed restoration.

What to expect

From 8 p.m. each night Monday, April 8 through Wednesday, April 10 to 5 a.m. each following morning, contractor crews will set girders on the new bridge.

Four times per night, crews will hold traffic for up to 30 minutes at a time. The traffic stops will occur at unscheduled times.

Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get through the work zone, especially if you’re headed to the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal.

In the summer of 2024, a two-lane bypass road will keep travelers moving as crews build the new bridge over the new creek. This project is located just north and west of NE Totten Road/Lemolo Shore Drive NE.

A fish barrier underneath State Route 305 outside of Poulsbo will be replaced with a girder bridge.
