Project overview
This project will replace the existing bridge deck on the I-90 Vantage Bridge to maintain the structural integrity, ensure the safety of the highway and extend the life of the bridge. The Vantage Bridge was built in 1962 and the last time the bridge received a major overhaul was in 1982.
What to expect
Construction will require approximately three seasons. Major impacts to traffic is expected to begin summer 2024. However, drivers could experience minor delays due to lane closures fall 2023.
When major construction resumes in summer 2024, crews will maintain one travel lane in each direction and all lanes will be open on the following summer holiday weekends and events: Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Watershed at the Gorge, and Labor Day. The bridge deck will be replaced with pre-cast concrete panels to minimize lanes closures and delays.
Crews will replace the I-90 Vantage bridge starting in summer 2023.
