Project Title & Location
US 97 - Satus Creek Bridge - Bridge Replacement

Project Description
This project will replace the Satus Creek Bridge on US 97 south of Toppenish with a new, wider bridge that meets current design standards. Replacing the bridge and realigning this stretch of roadway will improve safety and reduce collisions.

Contractor/Consultant
Project not yet advertised or awarded.

Recent Progress
This project is in the early design stage.  Recent information obtained through the Yakama Tribe Cultural Department has assisted WSDOT in looking at alternatives which would avoid culturally sensitive areas. WSDOT has submitted a geotechnical drilling plan to the Yakama Tribe Cultural Department for review.

Design Construction Impacts
A land ownership dispute in the area of the project has delayed the start of the cultural report.  This report is key to the delivery of this project.  Several milestones may be delayed.

A detour bridge is planned be used.
