Project Complete July 2009
Construction began June 22 and was complete July 23, 2009.
A related project on the west end of the bridge-
US 2 - Wenatchee - Pedestrian and Bike Trail Connection- was completed late last fall.
Together, these projects make significant improvements to the safety and accessibility of the area's trail system.
This project created a connection from the Apple Capital Loop Trail at the east end of the Odabashian bridge to the local road system north of the Bridge.
Why is WSDOT
constructing this trail connection?
There was no safe access from the Apple Capitol Loop Trail and the north side of the east end of the Odabashian bridge.
The End Result
A safe route for pedestrians and bicyclists, under US 2/97 at the east end of the Odabashian Bridge to access trails, paths and roads to the north.
Project Benefits
Improves safety through the separation of bicyclists / pedestrians and vehicles.
Provides a traffic separated connection between the local street system north of US 2 and the Apple Capital Loop Trail, encouraging non-motorized commuting.
What is the project timeline?
Construction started June 22 and was complete on July 23, 2009.
