Yes, it is a time of celebration for bikers and walker in Thurston County because of the imminent completion of a project to help link up the north-south backbone trail in our region. The Chehalis-Western Trail is bisected by a "gap" comprised of three major crossings: I-5, Martin Way and Pacific Avenue. First we tackled the I-5 portion, thanks largely to the hard work of then State Legislator, now County Commissioner Sandra Romero.
This celebration is for the completion of the second phase of the project, a bridge over Martin Way. Congressman Brian Baird has been instrumental in funding this project, as well as the third and final phase (a bridge over Pacific Avenue). He'll be on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony, and we hope you will be too. Details follow.
