Three culverts and two
bridges considered essen-
tial to the city’s water sys-
tem are rated in poor con-
dition and in need of
replacement, Public Works
Director Dale McDowell
told the Seaside City Coun-
cil on Monday, Nov. 25.
“We had inspections
done in 2018 and again in
June of 2019 on our culverts
and bridges,” McDow-
ell said. “We discovered
that we do have some cul-
verts that have failed or are
failing, and we have two
bridges that are also failing.
Culvert C05, is “rotten
under the road and under-
sized,” forester Bruce
Keller of Mason, Bruce &
Girard wrote in a memo
to Seaside City Engineer
Geoff Liljenwall in late
September.
Culvert C-25 has sep-
arated under the road and
needs to be replaced, the
consultants
determined.
The 40-foot long pipe at
Culvert C-33 is rotten
under the road and should
be replaced.
Bridge B-1 is in poor
condition and only suit-
able for foot traffi c, and
should be replaced for bet-
ter access to potential har-
vest, stand management
and potential fi re.
Bridge B2 needs better
access and safety.
Project costs for the
two bridges are estimated
at $20,000 each; culvert
replacement ranges from
$750 to $2,500.
Thinning of red alder
is also sought, McDowell
said, to be replaced with
hemlock trees. Alder thin-
nings would be hauled off
and offered to residents
free as fi rewood.
Overall project costs for
bridges, road maintenance,
contracting and tree thin-
ning are estimated at about
$123,000.
More than $500,000 is
available in the watershed
fund, City Manager Mark
Winstanley said.
With hunter and recre-
ational access, liability is
also an issue.
“Someone
walking
across one of these bridges
to get to the other side could
fall through the bridge, step
through the bridge,” Win-
stanley said. “It’s time to
get going on this.”
Councilors gave unan-
imous approval for public
works to go ahead with the
bid process.
Work will take “some
time,” Winstanley said.
“This will not be all done
in the next couple months.
It will take some time for
the city to work its way
through these different
projects.”
Work cannot begin until
July 1, when in-water work
is permitted. “If something
drops in the river, you sure
don’t want it to happen out
of season,” McDowell said.
