Cost of Hansen Road bridge to impact on other WSDOT projects

MOSES LAKE — Closing the overpass on Hansen Road was inconvenient to a lot of Moses Lake residents and travelers passing through town, not to mention the Washington Department of Transportation. Chris Keifenheim, North Central Regional administrator, estimated the cost would be $15 to $17 million to demolish the old bridge and build a new one, coming at a time when most of DOT’s money for repairs in the 2025-27 budget was already allocated.
