V cjsc ORttfc ROJD P,rtNG PROJECT SEPTEMBER v Photo by Dean Rhodes The Tribe officially marked the rehabilitation of 3.91 miles of Agency Creek Road on Friday, Sept. 28, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The rehabilitation work was between the junction at Grand Ronde Road to the junction with Yoncalla Creek Road and included replacement of 37 corrugated metal culverts with new HDPE culverts. Tribal Project Engineer Manager Jesse White said many of the existing culverts were completely corroded away. The existing 96-inch culvert at Joe Creek was replaced with a new 1 1 6-inch arch culvert that will allow better fish passage. The existing asphalt was pulverized and areas in the road that had failed were repaired. Four inches of asphalt concrete was placed over the entire project's length. The budget was $1,546 million and the projected was completed on budget. Attending the ribbon cutting were, from left, White, Cascade Design Project Engineer Jessie King, K&E Excavating foreman Mike Acuff, Tribal Council Chairman Reyn Leno, Tribal Council Secretary Toby McClary, Tribal Public Works Manager John Mercier, Tribal Executive Officer Chris Leno, Tribal Senior Forester Zach Haas and Tribal Timber & Roads Program Manager Jeff Kuust.
