Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Modifying the boundaries of certain heavy haul corridors.
Sponsors: Representatives Fey, Hargrove, Clibborn and Zeiger.
House Committee on Transportation
Senate Committee on Transportation
Background:
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) may enter into agreements with ports to designate short, heavy-haul industrial corridors on state highways within port district property. These corridors allow for the movement of overweight sealed containers used in international trade. The WSDOT may issue special permits to vehicles on these corridors so long as certain weight limit requirements are met.
A 3.63 mile-long segment of State Route 509 has been designated as a heavy-haul corridor. Pursuant to the 2012 Supplemental Transportation Budget, the heavy-haul corridor could be extended by 1.82 miles to the vicinity of Norpoint Way Northeast. The authority for this extension expires at the end of the 2011-2013 biennium.
Summary:
The heavy-haul corridor on State Route 509 may be extended by 1.82 miles to the vicinity of Norpoint Way Northeast upon agreement by the WSDOT and the port.
