Work is always dependant on weather and no construction delays
US 2 (MP 89.9-93) Tumwater Canyon Bridge Replacements
Work is shut down for winter
In this $8.5 million project, Selland Construction Co. crews are replacing three bridges, over Drury Creek and (two miles upstream) the Wenatchee River Green Bridge in Tumwater Canyon and the Chiwaukum Creek Bridge, 3/4 of a mile west of the top of the Canyon. Work also includes new turning lanes into the Tumwater Campground. Construction began August 1, 2011 and is expected to take until September of 2013 to complete.

SR 28, Jct. US 2/97 to 9th St. - Eastmont Extension Stage 1
This Douglas County project continues work on the Canyon B Bridge, above 31st Street. An on-line construction camera is in place so you can view the work. The final phase - the 3.2 mile extension of Eastmont Avenue - will be advertised for private contractor bids in May. The entire project is scheduled to be complete in the summer of 2013.
SR 28 East End of the George Sellar Bridge Improvements
Through Sept. 2012, the southern extension of the Apple Capital Loop Trail from the pedestrian bridge to Kirby Billingsley Hydro Park is closed for reconstruction of trail sections including three new tunnels where the trail conflicts with the new ramp construction. Bicyclists and pedestrians are detoured to Valley Mall Parkway between 9th and 3rd Streets. (Note the bicycle/pedestrian trail from the east end of the George Sellar Bridge up to Valley Mall Parkway remains open.)
In this $16.4 million project, KLB Construction Co. crews are building a bypass for southbound SR 28 traffic to the west of the Grant Road intersection. It also widens eastbound Grant Road to allow a triple left turn from southbound SR 28. Work began Sept. 6, 2011 and should be complete by spring of 2013.
