Overview
Quick work by contractor Bruch & Bruch Construction of Port Angeles, Wash., allowed WSDOT to reopen State Route (SR) 112 at 11 p.m. Friday, July 21, about 30 hours ahead of schedule.
The roadway had been completely closed at the location for the replacement of a culvert that was a barrier to migratory fish passage.
 | Improves Safety
Guardrail was installed to reduce the hazard of an errant vehicle entering the stream channel.
|
 | Relieves Congestion
Increased culvert capacity to accommodate a 100-year storm water runoff reduces the possibility of culvert blockage and highway overtopping.
|
 | Protects Environment
The existing under-crossing of this unnamed tributary to the Pysht River has been identified as deficient for fish passage by the Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife.
|
 | Economic Incentive
This design accommodates and thereby reduces costs and time to construct future roadway safety and mobility improvements to SR 112.
