This $25,209,312 Federal Railroad Administration grant awarded on December 1, 2024 under the National Infrastructure Investments (CFDA 20.933) program will fund several infrastructure improvements in Spokane Valley, WA. The project will replace a highway-rail at-grade crossing with a new Pines Road underpass, replace a signalized intersection with a multi-lane roundabout, and construct a separated shared-use path under the railroad crossing and around the new roundabout. The project will also build a new trailhead facility with restrooms, electric vehicle charging, and non-motorized access to the adjacent Centennial Trail and Spokane River. The City of Spokane Valley is the prime awardee on this Project Grant. The National Infrastructure Investments (RAISE) program provides competitive federal funding for critical surface transportation projects that enhance safety, mobility, economic competitiveness, sustainability, and infrastructure resilience across urban and rural communities.

The project replaces the highway-rail at-grad crossing of pines road, stat route (SR) 27, and the bnsf railway company (bnsf) tracks with a new pines road underpass, replaces the signalized intersection of two stat highways, pines road (SR 27) and trent avenue (SR 290), with a multi-lane roundabout, and constructs a separated shared-use path under the railroad crossing and an adjacent shared-use path around the new roundabout intersection. The project also constructs a new trail-head and parking lot facility, equipped with restrooms, electric vehicle charging, and non-motorized access to the adjacent centennial trail and spokane river.
