la. Description of request:
This project is located on the north end of Lake Samish in Section 27, T37N, R3E. This project will
replace the existing 250-foot span structurally deficient bridge which has reached the end of its service
life. This project is listed as Item No. B5 on the 2023-2028 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program.
The existing North Lake Samish Bridge No. 107 is a 250-foot span all timber structure which is considered
structurally deficient due to deterioration in the timber glulam girders. It is currently weight restricted and
has a temporary stop sign controlled one -lane restriction across the bridge center span to address the
deficiencies. The existing bridge will be replaced with a new precast concrete girder bridge structure.
This proposed project -based budget supplement will increase total project budget due to this project being
re -advertised, but also reduces the road fund contribution as the project is now 100% funded for
construction through an additional $1,941,900 in federal grant funds.
1b. Primary customers:
General public, emergency services and residents of the greater Lake Samish area.
2. Problem to be solved.
Replace the existing structurally deficient and restricted bridge with a new precast concrete girder bridge
structure that will allow for the unrestricted movement of all legal loads.
3a. Options /Advantages:
n/a
3b. Cost savings:

4a. Outcomes:
The outcome of this project will be replacement of the existing timber bridge structure with a new concrete

6. Funding Source:
Whatcom County has been awarded a total of $10,972,210 in federal bridge replacement funds for the
construction phase of this project under Whatcom County contract #202308018.
These additional awards have resulted less funding required from the Road fund therefore this request
reduces the road fund contribution by $201,564.
