Earlier this year, I supported Spokane Valley\u2019s BUILD application and made the Sullivan and Trent Interchange project one of my FY26 transportation priorities. This $20.8 million reward will help replace aging infrastructure, improve safety, reduce congestion, and strengthen one of the region\u2019s most important freight corridors,\u201d he said.\n\nUpgrades to this interchange are long overdue. State Route 290 (Trent Avenue) is over 60 years old, has been rated as \u201cstructurally deficient,\u201d \u201chigh risk,\u201d and in \u201cpoor\u201d condition. Further, the low-clearance bridge over Trent Avenue has been struck at least six times in the last ten years.\n\nThis project will improve a critical regional connection linking the Bigelow Gulch Corridor, the North Spokane Corridor, Spokane Valley, and the Spokane Business & Industrial Park. It will support safer and more efficient movement for commuters, freight traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists throughout the corridor, while alleviating congestion getting to Interstate 90 and through Spokane\u2019s downtown core.", 1, "2026-07-08T07:27:19Z", "2026-07-08T07:28:28Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://baumgartner.house.gov/2026/07/07/baumgartner-announces-20-8-million-dot-award-for-spokane-valleys-sullivan-trent-interchange-project/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4819130301475525, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
