Long-term Pacific Highway closure scheduled to end Friday, Oct. 9, near Stanwood
STANWOOD – Pacific Highway will reopen by 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9, in both directions between Fourth Avenue Northwest and 236th Street Northeast near Stanwood.
The Snohomish County road has been closed since Feb. 2 as part of the Washington State Department of Transportation’s Interstate 5 Secret Creek Fish Passage project. The closure allowed contractor crews to excavate beneath Pacific Highway and remove an outdated culvert that blocked fish migration. In its place, crews built a 40-foot tall, steel-arch culvert that allows fish to swim freely.
The project also installed new fish-passable structures beneath northbound and southbound I-5, restoring access to nearly 5 miles of natural habitat along Secret Creek for native salmon and steelhead.
