The City of Bingen and the Washington State Department of Transportation have held their initial discussion to kickoff the project to get an overpass built on Highway 14 into the Port of Klickitat. Washington legislators included funding for the project in the transportation package last year. Bingen Mayor Betty Barnes says the initial step will be a transportation survey. At the same time, surveryors are trying to determine the best site for the overpass. Once those steps are done, stakeholders will be brought in to get feedback, and then a public outreach effort will begin.
