| Project Detail |
Reconnecting waterways where our roads act as barriers is a priority for the state. In western Washington, that means building hundreds of fish passable structures under state highways to create habitat essential for meeting fish recovery goals.
A culvert below State Route 509 west of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a barrier to fish migration through Miller Creek, a tributary of the Puget Sound. Beginning in late 2024, contractor crews working for WSDOT will begin installing a new fish passible structure that connects Miller Creek under SR 509. This project will replace the culvert and rebuild the stream to reopen habitat and restore salmon populations.
