4TH ST - cedar AVE to highland AVE

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Washington State Department of Transportation $2,150,663 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 4, 2025, for the 4th Street corridor improvement project extending from Cedar Avenue to Highland Avenue. The project encompasses street widening and the replacement of non-fish passable culverts with modern infrastructure, including a full-span bridge across Brezee Creek and removal of a non-fish passable culvert and earthen dam at the Mill Pond Dam location. The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2028.

This formula grant funding supports comprehensive highway infrastructure improvements and preservation activities consistent with the FHWA's mandate under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The project delivery includes both transportation capacity enhancement through street widening and environmental remediation through fish passage improvements, demonstrating the multifaceted approach supported by the Highway Planning and Construction program in advancing both mobility and ecological restoration objectives within Washington state's transportation network.
