Following the successful reinstallation of the low bridge’s turn cylinder that we removed earlier this year, the Spokane St Swing Bridge (low bridge) reopened on Tuesday, October 10, to people walking, biking, rolling, and driving!
We closed the low bridge between October 7-10 to all traffic. During this time, we completed our planned maintenance work ahead of schedule. Our bridge maintenance crew used their experience removing the turn cylinder earlier this year to maneuver it back into place more easily.
Next year (2024), we’ll reinstall the refurbished cylinder we removed during the most recent closure, and then rehabilitate the two remaining turn cylinders in the west bridge pier. Check out the photos below for some highlights from the removal and reinstallation work.

SEPA and NEPA environmental analysis required under state and federal law are now scheduled to begin in 2025. Previously, the Planning & Environmental linkages (PEL) planning study was planned to end around now, identifying different alternatives to study in SEPA and NEPA.
