Port of Everett set to begin final phase of bulkhead work, wharf rebuild

EVERETT — Construction workers will begin replacing an aging bulkhead on West Marine View Drive next week that will reduce a 200-foot section of southbound lanes from two to one and continue into next year, the Port of Everett announced Tuesday.

Oregon-based Bergerson Construction will complete the final phase of bulkhead replacement at the Port of Everett Marina and rebuild the wharf near Port Gardner Landing and the Grand Avenue Park Bridge. Work on the $6.75 million project is expected to be completed by May 2026. Public access will be rerouted and northbound lanes won’t be affected.

The wooden bulkhead, responsible for shoring up southbound Marine View Drive is nearly 80 years old and is at the end of its life, Port of Everett Executive Director Lisa Lefeber said Tuesday in a press release.

If the bulkhead is not replaced, it’s possible the southbound lanes could eventually end up covered in water, Lefeber had said in March.
