Northwest Region Strategic Concrete Bridge Deck Preservation

Project overview

We will repair or replace the concrete on 17 bridges in King, Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties. Many of these concrete bridge decks have patches covering old potholes and ruts. Contractor crews will remove damaged and patched areas and replace it with new slabs of concrete. This will help preserve the integrity of the bridges, extend their lifespan, and provide a smoother ride for users.
