Vancouver City Council awarded a bid Monday, May 5, to Integrity Excavation & Construction of Battle Ground, for improvements to the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail between Fruit Valley Road and Hazel Dell Avenue and new trailhead improvements at Fruit Valley Road and Bernie Drive.
A 1.5 mile section of the trail, beginning at Bernie Drive and Fruit Valley Road, will close to the public mid-May, and will remain closed until the end of the year. Work will include trail widening, resurfacing and trailhead improvements.
The improvements to be made are relocated parking to Bernie Drive, portable restroom, security lighting, ADA improvements, landscaping, drinking fountain, intersection improvements at Bernie Drive and Fruit Valley Road, viewpoints and signage.
Funding for this $1.1 million project is made possible by local Regional Real Estate Excise Tax, Transportation Capital Fund, matched with a $484,653 Federal Land and Water Conservation Grant administered by the State of Washington Recreation and Conservation Office. Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation obtained this grant award in competition with projects statewide.
The Fruit Valley Road to Hazel Dell Avenue segment of trail was originally built in 1985 and is the oldest paved regional trail in the City of Vancouver. Completion of these improvements will complete the development and restoration of the entire eight-mile Burnt Bridge Creek trail system.
