The Big Quilcene River Bridge Replacement Project will significantly reduce flood hazards along the lower Big Quilcene River and provide major upgrades to the county road and the river’s salmon habitat. To accomplish this, the project team will remove Linger Longer Bridge and a portion of Linger Longer Road and replace them with a 1,140-foot bridge that will span the floodplain. A new habitat-rich river channel system will be constructed through the floodplain, under the new bridge, and out to Quilcene Bay.
