That is a bit of a stretch. The State of Idaho has signed off on the new span, but that is not the end of required approvals.
Quote:Spokane Spokesman-ReviewThe Idaho Department of Lands in a news release Friday said acting Director David Groeschl issued the final order on Thursday.
Approval from the state agency is required because it regulates encroachments and activities on navigable lakes in Idaho.
BNSF Railway must still obtain permits from other government agencies before construction can begin.
