OTHER BUSINESS <br />Josh Fredrickson briefed the board regarding an oversized load that <br />struck the overpass at Exit 80 on I-90. Josh Fredrickson advised the <br />Board that crews have removed the damaged portion of the overpass and <br />Engineers are working on a plan to reconstruct the overpass. Josh <br />Fredrickson wanted to bring to the Board's attention that a <br />feasibility study was done previously with options to either widen I- <br />90 to 3 lanes in each direction from Easton to Exit 85 or create <br />reversible lanes. Josh Frederickson stated with Washington <br />Department of Transportation replacing a portion of the bridge, now <br />might be a good time to have a conversation to consider widening the <br />footprint of the Exit 80 overpass since "Steer I-90- plans to expand <br />the footprint of I-90 in the future. <br />Chairman Laura Osiadacz stated that it makes sense to have that <br />conversation now so the repairs will not be paid for twice. <br />Vice Chairman Cory Wright agreed and stated that as the population <br />continues to grow, it is a good idea to have that conversation now <br />and that local Mayors should also be involved as well as the <br />Washington Department of Transportation. <br />Josh Fredrickson stated it would benefit everyone to do the expansion <br />now rather than 10 years down the road. <br />Vice Chairman Cory Wright asked what the proper notification would <br />look like. Josh Fredrickson stated that a notification letter would <br />be a good idea, and should be sent to local Mayors, Washington State <br />Department of Transportation and Legislative members. <br />Chairman Laura Osiadacz and Josh Fredrickson will work together to <br />prepare a notification letter to present to the Board. <br />Meeting concluded at 1:49 PM <br />f 2AIa!n <br />ls.lsa Godden, Administrative <br />Assistant <br />10/27/25 MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />Laura Osiadacz, Chairman <br />
