First Spokane Bridge in 50 Years Nears Completion Crews with Max J. Kuney Construction are putting the finishing touches on one of the largest bridges in the Spokane, Wash., area — an integral piece of the $91 million Spokane River Crossing and the first bridge to be built in the area in nearly 50 years. “They are pre-stress, post-tension girders that span roughly 200 feet in each direction across the river,” said Ryan Overton, eastern region communications manager for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). “I’d say some of the most impressive parts of it are the girders are hammerhead-style girders, varying in length. The hammerhead-style girder basically rests in the middle of the pier column.

Pre-stressed girders are a key part of the new bridge.
When complete, the North Spokane Corridor will connect to U.S. 395 at Wandermere and U.S. 2 to the north and connect to Interstate 90 near the Freya/Thor interchange to the south.
