For the second consecutive year, Pullman has experienced a “high-water event,” Mayor Francis Benjamin said. The flooding has caused road closures, landslides and an unknown amount of damage.

The South Fork Palouse River water levels triggered flood warnings from the city of Pullman Friday. Out of abundance of caution, officers from the Pullman Police Department closed the Pine Street Bridge.

Overnight, flooding worsened and water levels continued to rise. This time, the bridge functioned as intended, lifting itself up and rotating off to the north bank of the river, the city said in an Instagram post.

In February of last year, flooding tested the bridge for the first time since it was built two decades earlier. While it is designed to float and swing off to the side of the river, the bridge’s design experienced some failure, leading to it getting stuck.

The city said to expect the bridge to be closed for a while. Last year’s flooding in February closed the bridge for several months. The bridge was not reset until July.

In addition to the bridge closure, the flooding led to several road closures across Pullman. The city is warning travelers to be cautious and expect detours.

At 2:15 a.m. Saturday, the city reported a landslide had closed Davis and Olsen. By 3 a.m., flooding had also closed Grand Avenue from Nye to Ritchie, as well as Main Street from Spring to Pine.

The city announced additional closures or restrictions for East Spring Street near the WSU Visitor center to the City Playfields, Riverview Street at Benewah, Morton Street near Reaney Park and Derby Street to Riverview Street.

At 9:45 a.m., the city reported it reopened Grand Avenue.

At 11:30 a.m., the city reported it reopened Main Street.

At 1:52 p.m., the city reported it reopened both East Spring Street and Derby.
