Washington State budgets $5.6 million to fix Milwaukee Road Bridge over Columbia River at Beverly

They are trying to fill in the missing links on the bike trail in Idaho along the Milwaukee Road with the one that departs Puget Sound. This is a part of that effort. From what I remember about pictures of that bridge it was pretty long and included warnings to train crews about high winds. Here is a link to the Trains News Wire item:

The portion about that bridge:

“In a separate legislative action, the state’s capital projects budget included a $5.6-million allocation for the Beverly Bridge, the Milwaukee Road span across the Columbia River. The bridge is one of the missing links in a cross-state trail following the Milwaukee Road right-of-way from the Idaho border to the Puget Sound region.”

The funny part of the main article is about restoring passenger service across the state, including Stampede Pass . . .
