Edison St. is Preferred Columbia River Bridge Option

Jun 5, 2010 Kennewick News

It’s not a binding choice by any means, but Tri-Citians have indicated that a new bridge between Edison St. in Kennewick and Road 68 in Pasco is their preferred option if such a bridge is ever approved and built. The consultants who are working on the Columbia River Crossing Study have posted a bunch of info on their web site, including this chart showing that 37% of survey respondents listed an Edison St. bridge as their top choice to meet existing and future travel needs.

It’s hard to read (sorry), but the second option that got the most public support is a new bridge between Columbia Center Blvd. and Road 100. The consultants reviewed the survey results and a bunch of other factors (costs, traffic volume, neighborhood impact, etc.) and have narrowed the original 10 options down to these four:

#1 –A new span located just north of the Hanford 300 Area and connects to Columbia River Road and W Sagemoor Road on the east.

#7 – An additional bridge next to the existing US 395 “Blue Bridge

Here’s what they look like on a CRCSTC map (the finalists are in red):

You should check out the CRCSTC.com site for more information and maps. There’ll be another survey coming later this summer to get public input on those four finalists.
