Demolition, site work and paving for a civil project in Port Angeles, Washington. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

The project will start with an alternative analysis to determine the preferred method to address the failing bridge, alternatives to consider include bridge replacement, and property. The existing culvert is unable to adequately convey Valley Creek's seasonal high-water flow. During a back-water event, water is pushed between the culvert and the bridge deck undermining the roadbed and destabilizing the bridge supports. Annual maintenance and repair work performed by Operations Staff can only temporarily extend the life of the facility. Bridge failure would cut-off access to four single family homes residing on the east side of the Creek. An additional environmental benefit would be achieved as the expended and outdated culvert would be removed or if determined in the alternative analysis be replaced with a box culvert designed to meet all modern fish-passage minimum standards. As of February 12, 2025, this project is still in the conceptual phase. It was included in the City of Port Angeles' FY 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and funding is allotted for FY 2028. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
