Project Details
Project Summary: Reconnecting the North Branch of the Platte River is a comprehensive effort to replace outdated road/stream crossings at sites #PLT-P3, #PLT-P5, #PLT-P10, #PLT-P11 in the North Branch sub watershed that boasts the largest, high-quality tributary to the Platte mainstem. Sites #PLTI13, PLT-I15, PLT-I16 on Kinney and Brundage Creeks were added due to economic efficiency and project momentum resulting in a total of 7 crossings replaced.
