Skagit County will close Concrete Sauk Valley Road at milepost 13 south of Rockport from July 27 through Oct. 23 for a $2. 6 million culvert replacement project. The South Osterman Creek culvert, damaged in past floods, will be replaced with a fish-passable, flood-resilient structure. Konnerup Construction will lead the work, funded by FEMA Public Assistance and local dollars.
South Skagit Highway will close east of Clear Lake from Aug. 3 through Oct. 26 for a $1. 3 million Stevens Creek culvert project. Earthwork Solutions will replace the barrier to fish passage, funded through the state Rural Arterial Program. Both closures prohibit through traffic but allow local access.
