Project overview

What to expect
This project required a month-long full closure of SR 544/Pole Road, west of Noon Road, as contractor crews replaced the existing culvert with a new fish-passable structure. The full closure was required because crews had to use a low-density cellular concrete due to the nature of the soils in this area being poor. The restrictions was required to use this type of material can only build up 1 to 2 feet at a time. A signed detour was in place during the closure.
Crews installed a new fish passable culvert underneath State Route 544 near Lynden.
