Work Completed on Two Mill Creek Passage Projects!

We recently wrapped up work on two projects that improved fish passage in the concrete flood control channel.

The Spokane to Park project treated 1,344 feet of the channel,  connecting projects that were completed in 2013 and 2019.

 

 

 

 

The Roosevelt St project completed the last 900 feet between last year’s work and the upstream end of the concrete channel.

Only two sections remain to be treated: 6th Ave to 3rd Ave, and 3rd Ave to Colville St (the underground section).
