Frazer Creek Bridges

Consulting Engineer:  Jay Kidder, P.E., Chinook Engineering

Project Owner: Methow Salmon Recovery Foundation

This emergency work involved replacing five culverts with prefabricated bridges along Frazer Creek. Due to the Carlton Complex Fires, the land owners along Frazer Creek experienced unforeseen flooding on their properties adjacent Frazer Creek; some driveways were completely washed out. The project involved a significant amount of dewatering of the stream, removal of existing culverts, removal and stream channel construction with angular shot, river rock and boulders, and placement of the prefabricated bridges.
