"Bridging the Gap"
Martin Way Crossing
This is the second of the three "Bridging the Gap" project segments. It has two components to it. The first is an at-grade crossing complete with a pedestrian refuge island and in-pavement lighting such as Olympia uses at major crossings throughout the city. This at-grade crossing will be completed at approximately the same time as the I-5 Bridge. It will be useful not just for trail users but for transit riders and anyone else who needs to cross Martin Way safely at this mid-block location.
The second component of the Martin Way Crossing will be a bridge. It will connect the I-5 Bridge directly to the Chehalis Western Trail where it terminates now at Martin Way. Construction of this element is expected to get underway in late 2007 or early 2008.
Project Status
June 6th Groundbreaking Event – Congressman Brian Baird will attend the kick-off to the Chehalis-Western Trail’s ‘Martin Way Bridge’ project, the second of three ‘Bridging the Gap’ projects.
