Construction began earlier this year but was paused this spring due to bald eagles nesting near the project site
VANCOUVER – The construction of a new picnic shelter at Klineline Pond is ready to resume. Construction began earlier this year but was paused this spring due to bald eagles nesting near the project site. Now that the eagles have left the nest, construction will resume.
Irreparable damage to the former Pondview shelter from a winter storm required demolition of the structure, and a new structure is being built in its place. Construction of the new shelter should be complete by November.
During the week of October 7, the contractor will be pumping concrete to the construction site. Construction impacts should be minimal, however visitors to the park may encounter inconveniences during construction. Visitors are reminded for their safety to stay out of work zones.
Construction is weather dependent, and the schedule is subject to change. For more information, contact program coordinator Jacob Huston at Jacob.huston@clark.wa.gov or (360) 719-0756.
Updates to the construction timeline and impacts will be posted on Public Works’ social media profiles, and at clark.wa.gov/public-works.
