They are trying to fill in the missing links on the bike trail in Idaho along the Milwaukee Road with the one that departs Puget Sound. This is a part of that effort. From what I remember about pictures of that bridge it was pretty long and included warnings to train crews about high winds. Here is a link to the Trains News Wire item:

The portion about that bridge:
"In a separate legislative action, the state’s capital projects budget included a $5.6-million allocation for the Beverly Bridge, the Milwaukee Road span across the Columbia River. The bridge is one of the missing links in a cross-state trail following the Milwaukee Road right-of-way from the Idaho border to the Puget Sound region."
The funny part of the main article is about restoring passenger service across the state, including Stampede Pass . . .
