Construction
The Ferndale City Council awarded the project construction contract for the Brown Road Culvert Replacement project to Trimaxx Construction, Inc. of Sedro Woolley, WA for the bid price of $286,570.00, on June 1, 2015. Construction is anticipated to begin July 20th and will likely be completed by the end of August 2015, weather dependent. Brown Road will be closed to all traffic during construction. During construction, traffic will be detoured.

The project will consist of removing a section of the roadway and replacing the aging culverts just west of the BNSF railroad crossing near Portal Way. A new box culvert, designed to allow fish passage, will be installed and the roadway will be reconstructed.
