Latah Bridge Rehabilitation Study
Thank you for your interest in the Latah Bridge Rehabilitation Study. This website is intended to provide information and updates on the project.
Project Overview
The City of Spokane is working with CH2M HILL to develop rehabilitation solutions for the Latah Bridge (also known as Sunset Bridge or High Bridge) to ensure the long-term vitality of the critical link it provides in the region’s transportation system. As a part of this study, CH2M HILL will be performing analysis and inspection of the bridge and developing options for rehabilitation. Desautel Hege Communications, a local public relations firm, will be leading a stakeholder coordination and public outreach process. This study began in fall 2011 and is intended to be complete in spring, 2012.
The purpose of this study is to provide the City with an understanding of the current condition of the bridge and develop a plan on how to rehabilitate the bridge. Once completed, the study will allow the City to seek funding for the next steps. However, due to uncertainty of obtaining Federal funding to complete the next steps such as design, acquire right-of-way, and construct, timing of the actual rehabilitation structure is unknown.
