Eagle Creek Streambank Stabilization
The project includes the stabilization of 230 linear feet of Eagle Creek in the City of Savage. The section of Eagle Creek currently experiencing erosion is under the bridge at Eagle Creek Parkway. The proposed project is expected to prevent the continued erosion of Eagle Creek, protect the bridge abutments, and improve the overall health of Eagle Creek promoting an improvement of the habitat of the trout stream.
