Passersby can expect to see work continue at the site of the Washougal River Bridge project throughout 2016. Approximately 40 trains per day pass over the Washougal River Bridge. ìWe had the safest year on record in 2014, in terms of derailments, and we are on track to continue that this year,î said BNSF Spokesman Gus Melonas. ìThat doesnít happen by accident. That happens when safety is the No. 1 priority.î

Work continues on a project to replace a railroad bridge in Camas that is more than 100 years old.

According to BNSF Railways Spokesman Gus Melonas, platforms adjacent to the Washougal River Bridge are currently being built and will be ready in the first quarter of 2016.
