Project Title: Repair Cliff Ridge Road (FFS #R1GE)

State: Washington

Project Description: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior, awarded a $56,565 contract under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to Northern Management Services, a construction and general contracting company based in Sandpoint, Idaho. The project is expected to create at least seven jobs.

The company will improve Cliff Ridge Road (Rte 013) at the refuge, correcting deficiencies in the 0.85-mile, 14-foot wide native surface road by reconstructing the roadbed, side-slopes and ditches, and regraveling and compacting the road surface.

“These funds will be used to help provide for our regular maintenance to a road in need of repair,” Little Pend Oreille NWR Manager Steve Fowler said. “When completed, the project will allow for improved access to our 42,000-acre reserve.”
