SB 5763: Highway trenching

Clarifying responsibility for highway trenching.

Summary

  • The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is encouraged to develop a joint trenching policy so that all companies who require access to ground under the roadway may do so at one time. Applications for highway franchises must include the identification of all jurisdictions affected by the franchise and the names of other franchisees who should receive notice of the franchise application.
