Duckabush: Project will elevate U.S. 10]. highway continued from page 1 The project will reconnect the river to neighboring floodplains and wet— lands by niodifying local roads, elevat— ing U .S. Highway 101 onto the estuary- spanning bridge and reconnecting his- torical channels. “To give a visual of the impact, the current channel openings -« bridges — combined are equal to 289 feet,” Hood Canal Executive Director Mendy Har- low wrote in an email to the Journal. “The post—project channel opening will be 1,613 feet, five football fields long.” The restoration activities are mostly on public land at the Duckabush Wild- life Area Unit, managed by WDFW. Ac- cording to the department, the project will: . I Improve habitat for fish and wild- life, including Hood Canal summer chum and Chinook salmon, a main food source for endangered southern resi- dent killer whales. I Reduce seasonal flooding in the area, benefiting public and private property. I Provide a modern highway design that meets current safety standards. I Create about 1,300 jobs. I Establish a wildlife corridor under the highway to improve habitat connec- tivity for bear, elk and other animals, and reduce wildlife—vehicle collisions. The shoulders will be widened alongside U.S. 101. The intersection at Duckabush Road will be redesigned and a left turn lane added from north- bound U.S. 101 onto Duckabush Road. Public parking will be added next to Duckabush Road at the north end of the bridge to provide access to the wild- life area. This summer, Mason PUD #1 will begin off—site work to move utilities out of the future construction work zone. According to Harlow, the Hood Ca- nal Salmon Enhancement Group has been working since 2015 to acquire properties in the project footprint. In 2019, the Belfair-hased group secured the funding for the design of the U.S. 101 bridge. ' “Since HCSEG is a grassroots non- profit organization with a lot of volun— teers and connections in the commu- nity, we are also responsible for the public outreach for the project," Harlow wrote. The group is hosting five Duckabush Estuary education tours this spring and summer at 2:30 pm. the last Wednes- day of each month starting May 29. “These tours will highlight project information and focus on the multitude of terrestrial and aquatic species that depend on the Duckabush Estuary for survival,” Harlow wrote. The Duckabush River Estuary Project will reconnect the river to neighboring floodplains and wet- lands by modifying local roads, el- evating U.S. Highway 101 onto an estuary-spanning 1,613-foot-long bridge, removing two bridges and reconnecting historical channels.
