Last week, Interwest Construction Inc. (ICI) continued the excavation work at the Canyon Creek site, MP 10.5. ICI has proceeded to the excavation on the east side of the site and will continue excavating the slope and ditch-line for the new alignment of the roadway. Next week also marks the first delivery of the concrete Dolos, which are the structures that will be used to create the Engineered Log Jams (ELJs) at several locations along the Hoh River. See the photos on the next page.

Next week, ICI will continue this excavation and slope shaping work at Canyon Creek. Deliveries of material for the Canyon Creek bridge and ELJs will continue over the next few months.
