Description:
This project will rebuild the Lake Easton Trestle which was destroyed when the Milwaukee Railroad abandoned the railway bed. To rebuild the trestle, five steel spans totaling 375 feet must bridge the Yakima River. Decking and railing must also be added to allow safe use by trail users. Rebuilding the trestle will totally eliminate a 2.5 mile detour on county roads and connect the trail from the east to Lake Easton State Park, which provides public access to the shoreline of Lake Easton.
