Why is WSDOT improving access between the Port of Klickitat and SR 14 in Bingen?
Currently, the public and emergency responders use at-grade railroad crossings to access the Port of Klickitat and Bingen Point from SR 14. With planned economic expansion coupled with anticipated increased train traffic, there will be delays and connectivity issues.

Public Involvement
WSDOT is currently working with stakeholders and will host a public meeting on Dec. 13, 2017.

The End Result
A reliable and safer trip between Bingen Point and SR 14. Additionally, an improved rail crossing will reduce potential backups on SR 14 due to train traffic.

Needs & benefits

• Mobility - Trips between Bingen Point/Port of Klickitat and SR 14 will be uninterrupted by train traffic.
• Safety -  Reduce the likelihood of collisions at rail crossings; ensure access to Bingen Point by emergency responders.
• Economic - Meet the needs of future area development.
