US 730/4.4 Miles N of Oregon Border - Rockfall Prevention

WSDOT Geotechnical Division has prioritized this unstable slope as a potential hazard to the traveling public based on recorded vehicle/rock collisions and repeated call-outs to remove rocks from the roadway. This project will remove loose rocks and install permanent ground anchors and slope protection netting. These measures will reduce the potential for collisions by reducing the risk of falling rocks reaching the roadway. As of November 15, 2022, this project is in Final Planning status. Preliminary engineering has begun and environmental design is expected to be complete in the Fourth quarter of 2020. The contract advertisement is expected in Fourth quarter of 2022 and construction is anticipated to be operationally complete in the Fourth quarter of 2023.
