Press release from the City of Eureka:

Construction is nearly complete on the City of Eureka’s First Slough Fish Passage, Floodplain Restoration and Coastal Habitat Connectivity Project. The nearly five-million-dollar project is fully funded by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Fisheries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP).

Due to weather delaying paving, 14th Street between N and P Streets will remain closed until November 8, 2024. The City appreciates the public’s patience while traffic is diverted in this area.

The project consists of replacing the existing culverts at 14th Street and M Street. The project also includes habitat improvements near Cooper Gulch Park. Once the project is complete, salmonids will be able to migrate upstream under 14th Street and M Street, which are currently barriers to fish passage.

Questions can be directed to Project Manager, Brittany Powell at bpowell@eurekaca.gov or (707) 441-4127.
