We are writing to inform you of our plans to rehabilitate the Route 34B bridge over Salmon Creek, and to coordinate our proposed maintenance and protection of traffic plans with your office. This is also in follow -up to your discussion with Dan Jones of this office. The majority of rehabilitation work consists of steel repair /replacement to the numerous structural steel support members. Construction is scheduled to begin in late summer of 1998. Completion date is October 1999. At this time it appears that the bridge may have to be closed for completion of some of this work. If temporary closure is necessary, we would propose to use an off -site state route detour (see attached) for all traffic. This would be required for a period of approximately eight weeks, and is tentatively scheduled to be done in the summer of 1999. However, there is still some flexibility as to exactly when the detour should be set -up. For our preliminary design documentation we are requesting your input as to any adverse affects this detour may have on your August 06, 1997, continued operations or facilities. Use of this detour is not definite as this time. If it becomes imminent, we will formally present the project and proposed detour route at a Public Information Meeting.
