 King County Deputy Executive Shannon Braddock on Saturday joined partners to open a new steel bridge that crosses the White River to connect King County and Pierce County communities with 22 miles of uninterrupted paved trail.
The 572-foot-long weathered steel bridge – funded primarily by the King County Parks Levy – completes Foothills Trail, connecting 280,000 residents, schools, business districts, and civic centers while offering scenic views of Mount Rainier. The trail runs along the Carbon River, passing through farmland and forestland.
"Our new scenic trail bridge strengthens connections on both sides of the White River, making it faster, healthier, and easier for pedestrians and cyclists to get to popular destinations,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “With road, rail and regional trail networks, we’re knitting together the Central Puget Sound region with convenient mobility options that cross county boundaries."
