Spring 2008
Preliminary planning and initial design work is underway with construction expected in 2010.
This safety project will provide a separated pedestrian crossing to eliminate conflicts with motorists.
Why is WSDOT
building a pedestrian crossing?
Many skiers must walk across US 2 to access the Stevens Pass Ski Area from its primary parking lot. Hikers must cross the highway to travel the Pacific Crest Trail. The at-grade crossing poses a hazard to pedestrians and motorists.
The End Result
The crossing will separate the pedestrians from the motorists creating a safer environment for skiers, forest users and motorists.
Project Benefits
- Increased safety for pedestrians
- Increased safety for motorists
- Improved pedestrian recreation access
What is the project timeline?
Design work is underway with construction expected in 2010.
