Z -- West Fork Pilgrim Creek Bridge

The Cabinet Ranger District of the Kootenai National Forest anticipates awarding a contract for replacement of a bridge on the west fork of Pilgim Creek. The existing 24 foot treated timber bridge (Bridge No. 149-6.2) will be replaced with a new prestressed, precast concrete bridge. Included in the project is excavation and reshaping of the channel through the bridge with armoring of the banks with riprap rock, as well as, embankment construction and approach roadway modifications. The project is located on the Cabinet Ranger District of the Kootenai National Forest, approximately 6 miles southwest of Noxon in Sanders County, Mt. (Section 33, T 26 N., R 33 W.) Work is anticipated to begin around July 1, 2005 and must be completed by August 30, 2005. Work within the stream channel will not be allowed prior to July 1, 2005 and must be completed by August 15, 2005. The Government estimates the cost of this project to be between $25,000 and $100,000.
