Murray's Work
Transportation Projects for Southeast Washington
Note: Sen. Murray has funded more transportation projects in this region than are listed below. This list only includes specific projects that local community leaders asked Sen. Murray to fund in FY 2003. It does not include the $604.6 million that Sen. Murray secured for the WA State Dept. of Transportation, which the department then distributes to local projects throughout the state.
...........................................
US Highway 12, Burbank to Walla Walla ($2.5 million) - US Highway 12, from Burbank to Walla Walla is a heavily traveled two-lane highway with average daily traffic counts up to 12,000 vehicles per day, with nearly a third of it being freight trucks. This money will help fund Phase II of this multi-phase project. Specifically, it will build a railroad bridge over the highway to allow for the building of a four-lane highway.
Pullman Transit -- Small Bus Systems Grant ($1.18 million) - Replace five 35-foot buses. Replacing these vehicles with new models is critical to reducing emissions and pollutants and increasing safety.
Port of Garfield Road and Bridge Project ($500,000) - The project will create a new access road and bridge to join Highway 12 to the Port of Garfield's industrial site. The project will give the Port the opportunity to develop the only industrial site in Garfield County and will help diversify the county's economic base. The project will also help ease commercial truck traffic through residential areas. This funding will complete the project.
