Blue Bridge

If you're heading over the Blue Bridge on Monday, get ready for some detours. Maintenance work could slow things down quite a bit.

A welcome sight has returned to the Tri-Cities, with the long-awaited replacement spotted this morning on top of the Blue Bridge.

7 days into May of 2025, and the American flag that usually waves proudly atop the bridge is still missing. I heard back from WSDOT and now know the reason why.

It is May of 2025, and the American flag that normally sits atop the Blue Bridge between Kennewick and Pasco in Washington State is missing, and has been for a while now.

Hang in there - the Blue Bridge paint project is nearing completion. Over its 70-year existence, the bridge has had multiple paint jobs, not only to keep it looking good but also to protect the bridge’s structure. It was last painted 30 years ago in 1994. How much longer will daily traffic be an issue?

Officials did not say what led to the crash in the southbound lanes early Tuesday morning.

The Pioneer Memorial Bridge is nearing its 70th year of use, and WSDOT says it needs a complete new paint job.

The bridge will be re-painted with the same color of blue

The person responsible could be facing charges.

Construction on U.S Highway 395 will see cleaning on the Blue Bridge this week.
