Project overview
This project will make improvements to the State Route 542 Bagley Creek Bridge (milepost 49) in Whatcom County.
Erosion has exposed a footing of the bridge and caused a hole under the footing.
Contractor crews working on behalf of WSDOT will pour additional concrete, move existing streambed rocks to prevent further erosion, make roadway improvements.
What to expect
Travelers should expect continuous, 24/7 single lane closures managed by traffic signals. From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, travelers should expect flaggers in the area to support the crews in the work zone.
The SR 542/Bagley Creek Bridge is roughly 16 miles east of Glacier in Whatcom County. Bagley creek is about 8,400 feet upstream of the North Fork Nooksack and generally flows from the southwest to the northeast beginning from Table Mountain.
The SR 542 Bagley bridge is a 54-foot long, 29-foot wide, single-span concrete bridge. The bridge abutments have wingwalls with 1-foot-thick spread footings.
