The 0.8-mile stretch of Undie Road on the north bank of the Bogachiel River south of Forks was severely damaged during fall and winter storms and is now reduced to one barely navigable lane.
The current project is intended to create an alternate route that entails using 1.3 miles of existing state Department of Natural Resources road and another 0.9 miles of steep terrain construction.
The $905,310 contract with InterWest Construction Inc. of Burlington would be administered by the Jefferson County Public Works Department.
Construction is expected to begin Aug. 1.
