Pedestrian tunnel is expected to open this weekend

Individuals will soon be able to walk, run and bicycle through the Washougal pedestrian tunnel.

Mayor Sean Guard said during last night’s City Council workshop the goal is to have the fence outside the tunnel removed by Friday. The $2.58 million project, built under state Route 14 and over a Corps of Engineers levee, will link Pendleton Way to Steamboat Landing. The tunnel is being paid for by federal grants.
