Location: Bellingham

General contractor: Granite Construction

As part of the federal permanent injunction regarding culvert corrections, the Padden Creek fish passage project corrected two fish barriers and replaced them with four fish-passable structures.

Granite Construction led the removal of the existing 400-foot-long culvert below Interstate 5 and an adjacent frontage road, replacing them with two new bridge structures and a 56-foot-wide metal arch culvert. At the state Route 11 crossing, the team removed a double barrel box culvert and replaced it with a three-sided box culvert with a pre-stressed lid.

Granite says the project’s overwhelming success was a direct result of the collaborative partnership between it and all stakeholders including WSDOT, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Lummi Nation, Nooksack Tribe, city of Bellingham, USACE and the Washington Department of Ecology.
