About the Project


Goal:
Re-create the historic and self-maintaining  tidal channel connection between southern Kilisut Harbor and Oak Bay to restore ecosystem processes to a regionally significant water body and shoreline.

Objectives: 
1) Produce a 100% design maximizing restoration of historic ecosystem processes in collaboration with stakeholders and partners.
2) Replace 450 linear feet of road fill and twin 5-foot-diameter culverts on State Route 116 with a bridge that spans the tidal channel.
3) Re-create 10-20 acres of tidal channel habitat.
4) Maintain vehicle, pedestrian and utililty access on the new structure.
5) Improve shoreline connectivity and migratory access to the shallow productive waters of Kilisut Harbor for ESA-listed Hood Canal summer Chum and Puget Sound Chinook.
