Richland Washington Beach Overcrossing

Beach Overcrossing ~ As of October 2006, the Richland Washington area Beach Overcrossing project is well underway. The existing timber bridge is being replaced with reinforced concrete through-girder bridge. Also being negotiated is a temporary construction easement, with sharing of costs for the project with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF).

The Overcrossing was originally constructed in 1923, to be rebuilt in 1956. At present it is the sole access over railway tracks to 27th Avenue. However, as time has passed, the bridge has weathered, and with the influx of residents to the Richland Wa region, it is vital that reconstruction take place.
