~ In the early hours of the morning, engineers and workers in Spokane, Washington achieved a remarkable engineering feat. As part of the Post Street Bridge reconstruction project, they replaced a 54-inch pipe with a 60-inch pipe carrying wastewater 333 feet over the Spokane River. The former 70-year-old sewer pipe was installed on the outside of the east side of the bridge, and the replacement pipe is now tucked underneath and less visible.
The approximately $20 million project is focused on retaining the historic look of the bridge while providing one northbound lane for vehicle traffic as well as pedestrian and bicycle routes. It will also support the Centennial Trail and reconnect the North Bank with Riverfront Park and downtown.

"Making sure that we have a healthy, safe, secure pipeline to bring that sewage to the treatment plant is really important," said Public Works Director Marlene Feist.
The Post Street Bridge was built in 1917 and widened in 1937. It is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel deck arch bridge which replaced a wooden bridge and a steel bridge located on the site prior to its construction. After more than 100 years of use, it was determined that it could not safely continue to carry vehicular loads so it was closed to all vehicular traffic in May 2019 before its re-construction began in spring 2020.
The project is expected to be completed this year, providing an improved infrastructure for Spokane residents while preserving its historic look.
