The Yakama Nation and Mid-Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group are collaborating on a fish passage and restoration project on Rattlesnake Gulch Creek, a tributary to Swale Creek in the Klickitat River Basin. The project is located approximately 5 miles from the town of Klickitat on private property.
Construction activities will entail replacement of two undersized culverts with two prefabricated bridges from Pacific Bridge and Construction (19' long x 15' wide and 23' long by 15' wide). The project is intended to reconstruct the Lovers Lane Road crossings of Rattlesnake Gulch Creek to alleviate chronic maintenance issues, allow upstream migration of all fish species and age classes, and facilitate the longitudinal movement of wood and sediment across a range of streamflow conditions.
The project will be implemented August through September 15, 2023. You can download the bid package from this page, the plansets are included.
