Commissioners move forward on Bill Chipman Trail Bridge

COLFAX — The Whitman County Commissioners met for their regular meeting workshop on Monday, Sept. 25, at 9 a.m., discussing Bill Chipman Trail Bridge updates.

Public Works Director Mark Storey had one update concerning the Bill Chipman Trail bridge. Storey said he’d contacted the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and they agreed to let biologists work with Whitman County Public Works to install the new bridge in approximately March.

According to Storey WDFW, since they’ve declared an emergency, they can start working as long as it doesn’t cause any damage to the stream.
