Construction Activities and Upcoming Work

This week, Interwest Construction Inc. (ICI) will resume work on the Upper Hoh Road project. This year, ICI will be replacing the bridge at Tower Creek at MP 7.8 on Upper Hoh Road. This will include demolition of the existing bridge and the restoration of the streambed underneath the new bridge. In July, ICI will also continue constructing the Engineered Log Jams (ELJs), resuming where they left off at approximately MP 4.25 and working toward the furthest downriver ELJs at MP 3.7, near the Willoughby Creek Campground.

This week, work will consist of setting up temporary traffic control signage and clearing of the trees at these locations in preparation for this work in the coming months.
