The folks behind the Columbia River Bridge Crossing study have published the results of that survey done earlier this spring which asked Tri-Cities residents to indicate their preferences for adding a bridge over the Columbia River.
After reviewing the public input, and considering things like finances, impact on the surrounding neighborhoods, estimated traffic volumes, and forth, the original 10 options have been narrowed to these four (highlighted in red):

The four options are:
#1 –A new span located just north of the Hanford 300 Area and connects to Columbia River Road and W Sagemoor Road on the east.
#5 — A new span from Columbia Center Boulevard in Kennewick to Road 100 in Pasco
#6 — A new span from Edison Street in Kennewick to Road 68 in Pasco
#7 An additional bridge next to the existing US 395 “Blue Bridge
There’s a ton of data on the CRCSTC web site, including the results of the public survey. Tri-Citians who took the survey favor a bridge between Road 68 and Edison St. — what’s listed as option #6 above. The second preferred option is a bridge between Road 100 and Columbia Center Blvd.

You should check out the CRCSTC web site, which has a lot of interesting data if you’re interested in what’s going on with this bridge study. Or just wait for the next batch of information about the four finalists, and another public survey to get additional input this summer.
