Latah Bridge Rehab Study Vol. 2 Available

Volume 2 of the Latah Bridge Rehabilitation Study has just been released. The study makes some key recommendations for the City of Spokane to consider, including:
  • A solution that ensures a long-term (40+ years) design life for the Latah Bridge should be considered, rather than a shorter design life solution.
  • The recommended long-term option provides for bridge deck widening sufficient to accommodate planned and forecast vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, and freight demands with adequate lane widths and facilities to meet current standards.
The full study report on the bridge can be seen here.
