The project will be advertised during a period when viewing of the project may not be possible due to snow. Therefore, prospective Bidders are encouraged to view the project during fall as conditions permit.

Existing culverts are to be replaced with Aquatic Organism Passage culverts at three locations:

• Site 2 - On Swan Lake Road at an unnamed tributary (60.736917°, -150.793626°) downstream of Cashka Lake approximately 0.3 miles east of Swanson River Road.

• Site 3 - On Swanson River Road near the outfall of Rainbow Lake (60.717286°, -150.817591°) approximately 15.4 miles north of Sterling (Sterling Hwy).

Work at all three sites consists of replacement of an existing undersized culvert with Aquatic

Organism Passage culvert (including streambed channel reconstruction), additional smaller culvert installation, excavation, embankment to raise roadway grade, and placement of roadway aggregate resurfacing.
