A new 130-foot bridge in Skagit County, Washington, replaced culverts in Fisher Creek that had blocked fish passage since the 1930s. The project took 17 months to complete and opened up more than 2 miles of upstream habitat for local fish species, increasing the waterway's capacity to support about 21,000 young fish, including Chinook, coho, chum salmon, steelhead, and trout.
