The second phase of preservation work is complete for the State Route 99 George Washington Bridge in Seattle. It included cleaning, painting and steel repair. Crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation also repaved the bridge deck and repaired expansion joints. The landmark structure is on the National Registry of Historic Places. This project keeps the bridge in a state of good repair, allowing it to continue serving people who travel between the Green Lake and Queen Anne neighborhoods.
This $36 million project was paid for with pre-existing funds, as well as money from the 2003 and 2005 gas taxes and the Connecting Washington program.
