Set to begin in July 2021 and anticipated to be completed by fall 2022, the $7.3-million construction contract has been awarded to Dorosh Construction Ltd. of Langley.
The current Chehalis River Bridge, built in 1950, is a single-lane timber structure located approximately 6 kilometers north of Highway 7 on Morris Valley Road. The replacement structure will be a new two-lane, three-span structure approximately 96 meters long and built on the downstream side of the existing bridge.
The replacement, which will include a sidewalk to improve access for pedestrians and cyclists, will also have new bridge approaches so the structure ties into the existing roadway.
