Elwha River Ped. Bridge/ODT Link
- Status
- Funded in 2007
Clallam County will use this grant to build a nearly 800-foot-long pedestrian bridge over the Elwha River and turn nearly 2.3 miles of former railroad bed into a regional trail. The Elwha River Pedestrian Bridge-Olympic Discovery Trail will link 30 miles of existing trail east of the Elwha River with 20 miles of new trail west of the river. In addition to linking the two trail segments, the bridge will offer views of the Elwha River valley. The 14-foot-wide bridge will be under a bridge for vehicles. Construction will be completed in spring 2008. Clallam County will contribute more than $1 million in cash and a federal grant.
