Stewart Road is about to get a new bridge over the White River. Not only is it the last two-lane choke-point for traffic, but it also chokes the river’s flow beneath it. The new four-lane bridge will be higher and wider, letting the river meander where it needs to go, improving the health of salmon runs and reducing our risk of flooding. In fact, this bridge is one of our four White River Restoration projects. The new bridge will also include a separated trail to help connect the Sumner Link Trail to the Interurban for non-vehicular access for recreation and commuting.
The replacement bridge is now fully funded and will go into construction in 2024. Learn more on the project webpage:
