Ostrander Road Box Tender

Project Limits: Milepost 0.58 to 0.71
Federal Classification: Urban Major Collector (17)
Project Description: This project will replace the existing
triple box culverts with a bridge. The approaches will be
replaced, utilities relocated, and new guardrail installed.
Basis for Project: The triple box culvert is not large enough
to pass large storm events and this roadway frequently floods
causing road closures and hazardous driving conditions.
Interior culvert walls often catch debris constricting flow and
increasing the potential for roadway flooding.
In addition these culverts constitute a fish passage barrier.
Replacement will allow for free movement of aquatic life.
Environmental/Safety Considerations: These culverts create both safety and environmental issues due to
them being undersized. Replacement will produce positive outcomes for both of these conditions.
Funding Sources: This project is being funded with local road funds and a Washington State Recreation and
Conservation Office Fish Barrier Removal Board grant.
