Recent Progress
This project, located on the Skokomish Indian Reservation, is a cooperative effort between the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group (HCSEG), the Skokomish Tribal Nation and the Washington State Department of Transportation. WSDOT is currently working with both the HCSEG and the Skokomish Tribal Nation to update environmental documentation and to finalize the project design and plan set. On September 7, 2004, an Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide #27 permit was issued for the project.

Design Construction Impacts
The project was designed for the HCSEG and the Skokomish Tribal Nation by Engineering Services Associates in 2003. The construction phase of the project will be administered by the WSDOT. A review of the project plans, cost estimate and specifications is underway, and WSDOT is updating Contract Specifications and coordinating environmental permit applications to prepare the plan set for advertisement. Preliminary analysis of the project indicates that additional funding may be required to construct this project. Cost estimates will be verified and funding issues resolved prior to contract advertisement.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
Environmental permitting for the project requires that creek restoration work occurring in the Skobob Creek channel be completed between July 15 and September 15. This requirement ensures that during this period migrating fish will not be impacted by construction of the project. In addition temporary erosion, sediment, and spill control measures will be included in the project.

Impacts to Traffic
SR 106 in the vicinity of the Skobob Creek crossing will close during the bridge construction. Detour routes will be provided. Local access in the vicinity of the bridge construction will be allowed. A comprehensive public awareness campaign will be used to alert the public of the closure.
