Federal, state and city officials gathered Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the completion of the Interstate 90/Silver Street Interchange project.

State Transportation Secretary Darin Bergquist and City Public Works Director Dale Tech headlined the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was also attended by numerous business leaders, Chamber officials, City staff and industry officials.

Council members Lisa Modrick and Ritchie Nordstrom, along with Parks/Recreation Director Jeff Biegler, Civic Center manager Craig Baltzer and several City staff who worked on the project, also attended and participated in the ribbon cut.

Tech told the audience his father had worked on the original Interchange project in the 1950's and also spoke of the importance of the project to the City with better access and flow for the increased traffic.
