Page A-12 -Shelton-Mason County Journal, Thursday, June 30, 2016 • r" • i repa,r cu By BRIANNA LOPER bfianna@masoncoun com Starting as early as July 5, parts of state Route !08 and West Kamilche Lane could close as construction crews restore Little Skookum Creek to a more natural state. The Washington State Department of Transportation plans to remove an existing culvert on the creek, which crosses under state Route 108 in Ka- milche, and replace it with a box cul- vert to improve fish passage. "It's primarily considered a fish bar- rier due to surface depth," said Steve Busche, assistant project engineer for the department of transportation. "During low flows, they had a problem with that." To keep traffic flowing, crews will temporarily widen a portion of state Route 108 near U.S. Highway 101 and realign lanes to keep traffic flowing and give crews enough room to build the new culvert, Busche said. The current pipe culvert will be replaced with a 95-foot-long, 20-foot- wide, 10-foot-tall box culvert, a four- sided pipe. Busche said the bottom of the pipe will be buried into the ground Journal photo by Brianna Loper A section of state Route 108 near West Kamilche Lane will be under construction this summer as crews install a new culvert. and covered with gravel to mimic a stream bed. WSDOT plans to reduce speeds to 25 mph on state Route 108 between mile- posts 11.8 and 12 during construction. The project is slated to take all sum- mer and is scheduled to be completed Oct. 1. Busche said the project will cost about $2.8 million, including design, right-of-way work and actual construc- tion. Beginning July 5, West Kamilche Lane near the construction site will be closed. The closure is expected to last throughout the construction. Drivers should look for alternate routes, such as exiting U.S. Highway 101 at Southeast Lynch Road in Taylor Towne and driving south on West Ka- milche Lane. On July 11-14, crews may take state Route 108 down to one-way, alternat- ing traffic from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. the fol- lowing morning. The project is part of a statewide fish passage project for WSDOT. In 2013, state courts ruled that the state must not build or operate culverts that hinder fish passage, such as the culvert on Little Skookum Creek, under state- maintained roads. As a result, WSDOT has replaced or plans to replace more than 800 culverts in Western Washing- ton. At many of these locations, the culverts are too small to allow fish to migrate upstream or downstream as necessary for growth and reproduc- tion.
