First Over the Finish Line
Dan Cox, a lifelong Pe Ell resident and 40+ year Weyerhaeuser employee, had the honors of being the first person to drive across the newly completed SR 6, South Fork of the Chehalis River bridge replacement shortly after ribbon cutting ceremonies September 8th, 2009. Cox is pictured leading the waiting procession in his log truck decked out in green and white ballooons.
WSDOT Paving the way Towards Economic Growth
WSDOT cordially invited the public to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony September 8th, 2009, celebrating the completion of the SR 6 South Fork Chehalis River Bridge project. The new, wider span, replaces the old Boistfort Bridge that was built in 1925. The old bridge was a mere 20 feet wide whereas the new structure is twice its width. Quote, "This is the first of 4 projects, funded through the 2005 gas tax package, to replace bridges on SR 6 in Lewis & Pacific counties. The 2 Rock Creek bridges west of Pe Ell and the Lilly Wheaton bridge near Menlo are scheduled for replacement in 2013." Unquote. The bridge projects bring economic development into the community by providing jobs over the next 5 years and improves safer freight mobility between Chehalis and South Bend. Among guest speakers at Tuesday's event was 20th Legislative District State Senator Dan Swecker. Pe Ell was represented by Mayor Spencer Nichols and Pe Ell Town Council members Dolores Lee, Rick Clouse and Kristi Milanowski. The Doty/Dryad community was represented by Fire District #16 Chief Chip Elliott and WSDOT Chehalis Area Project Engineer Colin Newell.
