OLYMPIA – The Washington State Department of Transportation is conducting a study of road and rail transportation impacts and needs if the lower Snake River dams were removed and barges could no longer be used. People interested in learning more about the study can visit the online open house. The online open house will be available now through Dec. 6.
Visitors to the online open house have the opportunity to submit comments and questions to the project team.
The first of four phases of the Lower Snake River Dam Transportation Study began in April 2024. During this first phase of the study, WSDOT is gathering and analyzing information about the movement of goods on barges, trucks, and trains. Community members can get background on the study and see how barges, trains, and trucks currently move products into and out of southeast Washington.
