The south portion of the Old Mill Bay boat launch parking lot will be repaved and reconstructed this coming spring.
Chelan PUD is closing Old Mill Bay Boat Launch from April 2 to May 18 to rebuild the south half of the parking lot.
Chelan PUD has worked with other entities to ensure that boat launching for access to Lake Chelan are available during the Old Mill Bay reconstruction work
The PUD has worked with other entities to ensure that alternate boat launch sites are available for the boating public. These include Manson Bay, Lake Shore Marina in Chelan, and the Chelan Riverwalk Boat Launch.
The parking lot work includes new asphalt, storm drainage system inspection, all new concrete curbing and new striping. Eighteen maple trees will be removed and another variety will be planted that is better suited to the conditions.
The $280,000 project is designed and materials have been ordered. The contractor is Central Washington Asphalt of Moses Lake.
The PUD had looked at keeping the launch open during the project, but determined that it would be safer, faster and more cost-efficient to close the launch.
The parking lot was originally constructed in 1986 and has required constant maintenance and repairs because of aging materials. The north half of the lot was rebuilt in 2016 and this will complete the work to improve safety, durability and access to the lake.
