- Woods Cr Rd, Richardson Cr Br 300 - Monroe (2021)
Richardson Creek Bridge 300, located at milepost 0.67 on Woods Creek Road northeast of Monroe, is scheduled for replacement in 2021-2022. The existing short span bridge was built in 1961 and does not support the current traffic needs of the area. The current bridge is 18 feet long and 22 feet wide, with precast concrete girders, and supported on timber piles.
The proposed replacement bridge will improve mobility for the nearly 6000 daily vehicles using this arterial road by widening the bridge deck. The new design adds sidewalks and bike lanes for active transportation. The proposed new bridge will be lengthened to remove structure supports from the flood waters of Richardson Creek. It will also help fish passage at the site.
Engineering and design for the Richardson Creek Bridge replacement is in process.
Replacing Bridge 300 will disrupt the flow of the 6000 vehicle trips each day across this bridge. Project cost, worker safety, commute times and construction duration are important considerations. The county is evaluating several options for bridge replacement and managing vehicle traffic during the construction phase, including:
The construction of this project is estimated to begin in 2021 pending permitting approval.
