Project Information

This project is funded through the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Federal Local Bridge Program. Local Bridge Program funds were awarded July 14th, 2022 in the amount of $415,000. A supplement was added to the project on December 30th, 2023 in the amount of $120,000. This project is completely funded through the Federal Local Bridge Program. 

The proposed Whitehall and Alstown Bridge Painting project (see attached Vicinity Maps) will occur at Whitehall Bridge, located on Road F SE (Whitehall Rd SE), and Alstown Bridge, located on Road 3 SW (Alstown Cutoff Rd).  Work will include preventative maintenance in the form of cleaning steel elements of the bridges and applying a protective layer of paint. Whitehall Rd SE and Alstown Cutoff Rd will be reduced to single lane traffic throughout the duration of the project. 

Both Whitehall and Alstown bridges show significant weathering of steel elements including rust and corrosion that is spreading throughout the deck, super and substructure. Whitehall bridge currently has rust on over 35% of the exposed steel surfaces including over 80% on the bottom of the bridge deck. Alstown bridge has over 30% of exposed steel surfaces with rust or paint flaking. This project will remove rust and flaking paint from all exposed steel elements and apply a new coat of protective paint. This will effectively extend the service life of both bridges.

 The posted speed for Whitehall Rd is 50 MPH, and the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is 27.

The posted speed for Alstown Cutoff Rd is 25 MPH, and the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is 56.
