Work begins on US 2 fish barriers

SNOHOMISH — Crews with Washington State Department of Transportation contractor Scarsella Bros started construction this week on a $9 million fish passage barrier removal project at US 2 at Sexton Creek, a tributary to the Pilchuck River, just south of Three Lakes Road near Snohomish.

The project includes removing the two existing 5-foot steel culverts that run for over 180 feet under US 2, and replacing them with a fish-passable structure.
