WSDOT has developed seven SR 165 Carbon River-Fairfax bridge alternatives. They are illustrated on the map with different colors and described below.

A map showing all of the alternatives WSDOT is evaluating

Alternative 1 – Maintain permanent bridge closure: This alternative would end SR 165 at Carbonado and provide no alternative route. The existing bridge would remain permanently closed and be removed. This is referred to as a no-build option.

Bridge replacement in the same vicinity

Alternative 2 - Bridge replacement at existing location: This alternative is shown as a black dashed line on the map. It will construct a new bridge on SR 165 at the existing bridge location.

Alternative 3 - Bridge replacement north of existing location: This alternative is shown as a dark green line on the map. It will construct a new bridge on SR 165 north of the existing bridge.

Alternative 4 - Bridge replacement south of existing location: This alternative is shown as a yellow line on the map. It will construct a new bridge on SR 165 south of the existing bridge.

Re-route SR 165 on a new alignment to the east or west of Carbon River Canyon

Alternative 5 - West alternative alignment, new bridge location near Carbonado: This alternative is shown as a light green line on the map. It will realign SR 165 and create a new bridge near Carbonado.

Alternative 6 - West alternative alignment from SR 162, no bridge: This alternative is shown as a purple line on the map above. It will realign SR 165 from SR 162 near Crocker. No new bridge over the Carbon River is needed.

Alternative 7 - East alternative alignment, new bridge location: This alternative will realign SR 165 along the limited access route east of Wilkeson and Carbonado, upgrade it to highway standards, and construct a new Kolisch Road bridge over the Carbon River.
