Digging deep

Placing a new culvert for Secret Creek under SR 532 near Stanwood requires a very deep trench.

 

Contractor crews working for WSDOT excavated a trench 40 feet deep for the new culvert.

 

Replacing the existing culvert is necessary because it's only 4-feet in diameter and poses a barrier to fish. The narrow size means that water speeds though it far too fast.

 

The new culvert will be 18 feet wide by 10 feet tall and 195 feet long.
