COLFAX – The community is invited to an open house on Thursday, Dec. 8, to hear about design elements being considered for the State Route 26 and US 195 intersection in Colfax. The Washington State Department of Transportation project team will be on hand to discuss possible design options as well as bridge replacement for the twin bridges at the north end of town.
The twin bridges of US 195 and SR 26 in Colfax have come to the end of their service life and are in need of significant repair. Replacement of the bridges is necessary along with a new US 195 and SR 26 intersection to help all traffic flow more freely and efficiently for years to come.
The open house will provide information on the upcoming project to replace the SR 26 and US 195 bridges as well as implementing elements of the new Complete Streets Program for all WSDOT projects. No formal presentation will be given, but displays will include:
- A project overview and timeline
- Overview of Complete Streets
- Construction and local disruptions
- Replacement and design options
