Construction to begin on Timber Road Landslide Repair

Construction is scheduled to begin on the Timber Road Landslide Repair Tuesday (Sept. 3). Timber Road will remain closed between Strassel and Cochran Roads throughout construction.

Our contractor will begin preparing the work site by installing erosion control and removing the asphalt from the road. We expect they will begin excavating the slope by mid-September. In the following months, they will rebuild the slope with stronger materials, add a stone embankment for additional support and rebuild the road on top. 

Construction is scheduled to finish in late December. For regular updates, visit Timber Road Landslide Repair.

Project Timeline

Schedules are subject to change

• March 2023: Timber Road closed between Strassel and Cochran roads after we detected increased landslide movement and significant pavement displacement.

• Spring-fall 2023: Our consultant completed a geotechnical evaluation to learn about the shape, location and movement of the landslide. Using that information, they developed multiple possible project concepts to stabilize the slide.

• Fall 2023: We weighed the costs and benefits of the project concepts and worked to identify project funding. A project concept was decided on.

• Winter 2023-June 2024: Our consultant designed the project.
• June-July 2024: We bid for a construction contractor and developed schedules.

• September 2024: Construction will begin.

• December 2024: Construction is scheduled to end.
