It's the only one of its kind in the United States. The bridge is opened about 5 times per day to vessels going up the Duwamish Waterway or into Elliott Bay. A quick repair is required since we need to accommodate large vessels that need to get up and down the Duwamish River. Delayed earthquake damage is typical in large structures of this kind. We've been continually inspecting our structures, especially bridges, since the earthquake.
Inspections are important - especially to homeowners.
Damage may be there, but not immediately noticeable. We welcome your feedback.
