Project Description 

The goal of these projects is to improve fish passage and address flooding issues on Horsehaven Creek where it crosses under 150th Ave E and 188th St E near Orting.  

The existing culverts do not meet current fish passage requirements and there is water over the roadway several times each year.  The planned improvements include removing the existing 36’’ culverts and replacing them with a larger concrete structures at the two crossings.
