SR 14 - E of Bingen – Port of Klickitat Access Improvements

Project overview

This project will increase safety and connectivity between Bingen Point, the Port of Klickitat and State Route 14, in Klickitat County. Currently, travelers and emergency responders use a railroad crossing to access the Port of Klickitat and Bingen Point from W. Steuben Street (SR 14). When train traffic occurs, it affects all travelers and slows emergency response times.

To reduce delays and connectivity issues, WSDOT in partnership with BNSF and the City of Bingen, are working to design and construct a new rail crossing that will reduce backups along SR 14. Once this project is complete, travelers will have an improved multi-modal intersection that provides a safe and reliable trip between Bingen Point and SR 14.

What to expect

This project is currently in the design phase while WSDOT works with public and private partners in Klickitat County. Construction is not yet scheduled.
