Wiser Lake bridge work begins June 30th
Saturday, 28 June 2008

Starting Monday, June 30, crews will begin work on a new causeway across the lake

SR 539 - Ten Mile Road to Badger Road Widening

Construction plans
  • four-lane highway between Ten Mile Road and Lynden
  • Divided Highway with median and cable barrier
  • 4 roundabouts at key intersections
    • Ten Mile Road
    • Wiser Lake Road
    • River Road
    • Pole Road
  • Bridge replacements
SR 539 - Guide Meridian Widening: What’s that yellow stuff floating in the lake?

The causeway will hold the two new roadway lanes. Monday’s work will be off the roadway, but you may notice some construction activity on the south shore of the lake. Crews will be placing rock into the lake to build up the causeway.

Once the causeway is complete, it will need to settle for three to five months. That period ensures that it will be stable enough for crews to begin preparing for the new Guide lanes.

A turbidity curtain is in place to prevent water containing sediment stirred up by construction from seeping into the rest of the lake.
