The FONSI says “Pave the Road!”

The Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) selected the preferred alternative and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road Project.

  • The roadway will be 20-feet in width for most of the 9.7 mile project area
  • The road will be improved/paved from MP 2.7 (Valley Camp) to 12.4 (Campground)
  • The grade will be raised to minimize flood damage
  • Sharp curves will be softened with minor alignment adjustments
  • Pullouts will avoid the need to park cars where they encroach on the roadway
  • Bridges at MP 6.0, 8.4, and 10.6 will be replaced
