Through this project, contractor crews will clean and paint the steel members of the substructure of the SR 433 Lewis and Clark Bridge to help preserve and prolong the life of the bridge. The bridge will be painted in three phases; phases 1 and 2 will paint the steel underneath the roadway, and phase 3 will paint all of the steel above the roadway. The first phase of the project, completed in February 2008, cleaned and painted piers in the Columbia River. The second phase of construction began in April 2009 and cleans and paints the remaining piers in the Columbia River, as well as some of the bridge towers on the Washington side. Phase two of this project is expected to be complete spring 2010.
