SR 534 Unnamed Tributary to Carpenter Creek Fish Passage - Completed November 2023

WSDOT's contractor will remove the existing 35-foot long, 36 inch in diameter concrete pipe at the State Route 534 Unnamed Tributary to Carpenter Creek fish passage site located at milepost .5 in Conway and replace it with a fish passable structure for an estimated habitat gain of 7.6 miles. 

Why we are removing fish passage barriers

State highways cross streams and rivers in thousands of places in Washington State, which can impede fish migration. WSDOT has worked for nearly three decades to improve fish passage and reconnect streams to help keep our waterways healthy. WSDOT fish barrier correction is a priority.
