To pave asphalt over concrete, first we need to "crack and seat" the concrete. A cracking machine, which you can see in the video, drops a 6-ton blade onto the concrete to crack it, then a 35,000-pound rubber-wheeled roller compacts, or "seats" the cracked concrete. Then we can pave it with asphalt. | WSDOT

We are currently testing this machine to see if it’s something we want to purchase to help with litter cleanup efforts. You might have seen us out in Spokane Valley on a test run last week. The machine is towed and controlled by one person driving a tractor. It uses a rotating conveyor that contains hundreds of tines which scoops up the trash then dumps it in a hopper/bucket. The hopper can be raised to dump the litter into a container, truck or dumpster. It’s effective on grass, dirt, and paved

During the northbound I-5 Interstate Bridge closure Sept. 12-20, travelers between Vancouver and Portland will share the three existing lanes and sidewalk on the southbound bridge. A movable concrete barrier will shift lanes to allow for two lanes of travel in the direction of the heaviest commute times. For example, the bridge will have two southbound lanes and one northbound during the AM commute, and two northbound lanes and one southbound in the PM. This video shows how crews will switch the

What do we want? A guardrail worth fighting for. The SR 153 Methow River Bridge reopened this week with a repaired southbound rail! The southbound lane was closed in August for safety after an inspection determined that it may no longer stop an errant vehicle should there be a crash. Our contractor crew got down to business and worked seven days a week to install 302 feet of new railing and perform some structural and deck repairs. From there, we had to wait 10 days for the concrete to cure. And

Our maintenance and bridge teams recently took part in a hydromill demonstration in Spokane. The robotic machine is controlled by a single operator and uses up to 40,000 psi water jets to cut and demolish concrete. It negates the use of a jackhammer, saves time and significantly controls dust. We haven’t committed to purchasing any yet but we’re always looking for ways to improve the efficiency of what we do and safety of our crews and the public so we’re looking into it. | WSDOT

It was a long month, Seattle. Here’s what we were up to. Enjoying a smoother drive over a stretch of the northbound lanes over the I-5 Ship Canal Bridge? That was a big part of the work we did during the month-long lane reductions. That work included replacing more than 900 feet of bridge deck with new concrete, installing 94 new drains to reduce water pooling and replacing bridge expansion joints. Oh snap! Thank you to all the adjustments made by you, the travelers, to keep the region moving du

The I-405 Lind Avenue overpass project took a big step forward when crews poured the concrete onto the bridge deck this month. They spent most of this winter, setting new girders, building supports, and framing with rebar. Concrete is a sign of progress that brings us closer to reopening this bridge and reconnecting the communities of Renton, Tukwila and Kent. The bridge is scheduled for reopening this Spring.

It’s gonna be…construction season. And May. What’s it mean? More paving. More striping. More fish passage. And a whole lot more traffic backups in order to get all that work done. We know congestion and delays aren’t in sync with your summer travel plans. We’ll do what we can to communicate our plans ahead of time, so you can know before you go.

We closed northbound I-5 through Seattle for the weekend, and we figured you deserved to see what crews did during that time. Take a look! Over this past weekend crews were able to set up a two-lane work zone by setting concrete barrier and restriping the freeway. They also installed 15 drainage structures and prepped expansion joints for bridge deck resurfacing starting today. During the next four weeks crews will resurface approximately 20 percent of the bridge deck, replace expansion joints,

Job done early ✔️ After an over-height truck damaged the Bullfrog Road overpass above westbound I-90 near Cle Elum in October, crews jumped into action and delivered big. Working under emergency authorization, WSDOT and contractor Garco Construction rebuilt the bridge using precast concrete beams to speed up construction and reduce traffic impacts. As a result, the overpass is now open weeks ahead of schedule, restoring access for the community in just 86 days. Crews will return in the spring to

FINAL 12:30 p.m. I-90 Snoqualmie Pass is back open in both directions. UPDATE 11:41 a.m.: Eastbound Snoqualmie Pass is open. Hoping to get westbound open shortly. ORIGINAL POST: While both directions of I-90 Snoqualmie Pass remain closed after unprepared drivers crashed, blocking the road and damaging concrete barriers, our crews on US 2 Stevens Pass continue to work to keep that highway plowed. This video is a good example of what plowing is, and isn't. When our crews plow, they are working to

There’s a lot you can get done in a weekend’s time. Tear some bridges down, remove a ton of concrete (several thousands of it actually), smooth a ramp out. All caught on video! That and more were all in a weekend’s work a few days ago in Kirkland. If you were wondering why Northeast 85th Street in Kirkland was closed under I-405 (along with nearby ramps), wonder no more: We used the 53-hour long closures to: • Bid adieu to the old bridges that used to carry southbound and northbound I-405 over N
