If you regularly travel on Semiahmoo Drive you will already have noticed the start of a weeks-long construction project scheduled to last through September.

The Birch Bay Watershed and Aquatic Resources Management District is partnering with Whatcom County Public Works to replace a storm water system connecting Birch Point and Semiahmoo Drive. The project began on August 15.

The new system will reduce flooding in nearby properties and will address issues associated with repair and rainfall.

Updates will be available at bbwarm.whatcomcounty.org.
