Spokane Valley Bridge Gets Major Upgrade | Spokane News

Spokane Valley’s aging Sullivan Road bridge—rated structurally deficient and too low for trucks—is getting a $20 million federal boost to fix the bridge and Trent Avenue interchange, easing crippling traffic and saving local businesses from costly delays. Senators Murray and Cantwell, Congressman Baumgartner, and Mayor Laura Padden’s years of advocacy secured this major win, with another $7.5 million pending from the state. The city’s targeting a final design by next summer, with minimal land acquisitions and no forced moves. Even if funding falls short, they’re ready with backup state grants and city funds to keep the project moving—because smooth roads mean stronger local economies and lower prices for everyone.
