This year construction will begin on WSDOT’s SR 516/Barnes Creek fish passage project. The project will replace the small clay culvert with a new structure that is 20 feet wide and 9 feet tall, allowing fish and other wildlife to move freely up and down the creek. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2023. To complete the work, SR 516 will be closed around the clock for nine days when the culvert is installed in summer 2023. The closure dates are not known at this time.
