Stateline bridge engineers pay tribute to kayakers

PADDLING – The new stateline bridge over the Spokane River, which is expected to open to traffic on Tuesday, features a railing with illustrations of an evergreen tree, symbolizing Washington, and a kayaker.

Give credit to state and county engineers for listening to paddlers concerns and recognizing the area’s importance to recreation:

Part of the bridge was reconfigured to avoid affecting Dead Dog Hole, a popular kayaking spot.
