WES is designing projects to help prevent Kellogg Creek and one of its tributaries from flooding roads and property near SE Clackamas and Thiessen roads.
Overview Map:
Culverts and ditch inlets in these locations are too small or clog too easily, causing stream backups that flood roads and private property.
A Culvert is a device, usually a pipe or arched tunnel, used to channel water underneath a road, railway, or other type of embankment.
Locations:
- A ditch inlet just west of where SE Clackamas Road crosses Kellogg Creek, southwest of Ann-Toni Schreiber Park.
- A ditch inlet near SE Wildlife Estates Drive, just west of the intersection of SE Stohler Road and SE Clackamas Road (future project).
- A new culvert at SE Thiessen Road just west of SE Aldercrest Court will also be constructed in the next year by Clackamas County Department of Transportation and Development.
Map SE Wildlife Estates:
A nearby project on Adercrest Court is also under design.
Project Details:
WES is currently planning how to remove and replace these impediments to drainage. For SE Wildlife Estates Drive, WES will also design how to stabilize the stream’s banks to keep clog-causing sediments out.
The projects would reduce or end flooding. They would also improve fish and wildlife habitat.
Timing:
- Clackamas County Department of Transportation and Development is managing the SE Thiessen Road culvert and construction is likely to begin as early as late 2024 and completed in 2025.
- WES is currently designing the Clackamas Road culvert and construction is likely to be later in 2025.
- The Wildlife Estates improvements are in early design. This project is not yet scheduled for final design or construction.
