James Street bridge could reopen by the end of June

Bellingham, WALocal News

Bellingham’s James Street bridge is on track to reopen by the end of June, following extensive renovations. The City has completed the installation of new sidewalks and curbs, and paving of the roadway began earlier this week. Once paving is finalized, the bridge will reopen while crews shift their focus to the nearby Meador Avenue bridge. Local officials anticipate potential lane closures for additional work after both structures are operational. Originally built in the 1930s, the bridges required significant upgrades to enhance safety and accessibility.

This project aims to improve traffic flow and connectivity into downtown Bellingham. The city’s investment in infrastructure reflects a commitment to maintaining critical transportation links. Residents can look forward to a more accessible downtown area once the construction is complete.
