Pines road/bnsf grade separation

The Washington State Department of Transportation received a $236,700 Formula Grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on May 16, 2022 under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205). The grant funds will support construction of a grade-separated intersection for Pines Road (State Route 27) at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway crossing in Washington. Specifically, the project involves constructing a Pines Road underpass at the railroad tracks, lowering the intersection and adding lanes at the nearby Pines Road/Trent Avenue intersection (State Route 290), and closing the at-grade University crossing at the BNSF crossing. A sub-award of $236,700 was provided to the City of Spokane Valley to deliver the proposed construction activities.
