Overview
The bridge deck on the SR 433 Lewis and Clark Bridge was replaced. The entire bridge now has a new driving surface and the roadway and shoulder widths are the same all the way across the bridge. Five-foot wide shoulders on both sides of the bridge provide improved safety for bicyclists and pedestrians, and help motorists maneuver around disabled vehicles.
The Lewis and Clark Bridge was built in 1929, this project will extend the life of the bridge for another 25 years.
 | Improves Safety
Wider lanes and shoulders provide increased safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.

Partnerships & Cooperation
The Lewis and Clark Bridge spans the state line between Washington and Oregon, providing a link for motorists between the states. The cost of the deck replacement was split evenly by both states.
At WSDOT we seek to address the concerns of the tribal nations using the process outlined in Section 106 of
The National Historic Preservation Act and the WSDOT Tribal Consultation Policy adopted in 2003 by the Transportation Commission as part of the WSDOT Centennial Accord Plan.
Funding
Because the Lewis and Clark Bridge spans the state line between Washington and Oregon, the cost for the bridge deck replacement project is being split evenly by both states.
Total funding From All sources - $29.8 million
