14th Street in Eureka Closed During Construction

Press release from the City of Eureka Public Works:

City of Eureka Seal

Construction has begun 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). Beginning Thursday, August 15th, 14th Street between N and P Streets will be closed to through traffic for an extended amount of time to allow for the installation of a new fish friendly culvert. Construction will wrap up by the end of October 2024. Revegetation will take place through March 2025.

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.
