    More about this project

    Work on the Nine Mile Creek Bridge Causeway and improvements to Hwy 169 from Hwy 62 to Hwy 55 started January of 2017. A causeway is a raised road across a low or wet ground that is supported by fill instead of piers. Nine Mile Creek Causeway is about three-fourths of a mile and will take traffic over Nine Mile Creek.

    In addition to replacing the bridge, Hwy 169 and nearby ramps were resurfaced, some noise walls were replaced and safety and accessibility improvements were made.
