Historic Iron Bridge Renovation
- Status
- Funded in 2009
Spokane will use this grant to renovate and open Spokane’s Historic Iron Bridge for bicycle and pedestrian use. Once used by railroad companies to service mining areas throughout the region, the Iron Bridge now represents a key connection in Spokane’s regional trail network. The bridge will provide safe, scenic, non-motorized access across the Spokane River that currently does not exist on the city’s east side. The Iron Bridge will link directly with the 37-mile Spokane River Centennial Trail, and provide connections with other key regional trails. In addition to renovating the Iron Bridge, the project includes grading approaches on both sides of bridge, developing a trail accessible to people with disabilities on the eastern side of the Spokane River, and creating an interpretive center. The city will contribute $530,026 in a federal grant and donations of cash, labor, land, and materials. (08-1698)
