Barker road at uprr crossing

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded a $231,000 Formula Grant to the Washington State Department of Transportation on August 5, 2021 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant funds will support reconstruction of Barker Road at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and intersections with Euclid Avenue in Spokane Valley, Washington. This includes constructing a shared use path along Barker Road between the Spokane River and Barker Grade Separation. Phase 1 involves a shared use path from the Spokane River to Euclid Avenue (east leg). Phase 2 covers crossing and intersection improvements with Euclid Avenue, and a path from the crossing to the Barker Grade Separation. A sub-award of $231,000 was provided to the City of Spokane Valley to deliver the proposed reconstruction and path construction projects. The grant funding will assist in providing transportation infrastructure improvements as outlined under the federal Highway Planning and Construction program.
