RE: Naches River Bridge Repair
2024 Supplemental Transportation Budget
State Funding
Dear Mr. Preston:
WSDOT is pleased to advise you that the above-mentioned project was selected to receive
funding through the 2024 Supplemental Transportation Budget. The state funding is limited as
shown below:
Naches River Bridge Repair $333,000
2023-25 Available Funding: $333,000
Scope: For repair of the Naches River Bridge used by the Yakima Valley Trolley to connect
Yakima and Selah.
In the event the 2023-25 funding is not all reimbursed, WSDOT will need to request the
remaining funding through the 2025-27 budget development. Until the funding is provided by
the legislature, WSDOT can only reimburse your agency for the approved work completed each
biennium, as reflected above. Therefore, it is critical that the Local Project Report detailing the
project's delivery is updated, so that the funding aligns with the schedule.
In order to meet the state requirements, the following are required:
• Project expenditures incurred before receiving notice from Local Programs of state fund
authorization are not eligible for reimbursement.
• Please refer to the Local Programs webpage for detailed authorization information
including: (https://wsdot.wa.gov/business-wsdot/support-local-programs)
✓ Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) manual for detailed requirements;
✓ Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) amendments, as applicable;
✓ Funding and billing forms;
