February 2006 - A bird's eye view of the SR 18 bridges over SR 169.  Although eastbound (on the right) bridge deck paving is done, crews must build the roadway approaches on both ends of the bridge.  In the upper right corner you can see excavation for the realignment of Taylor Creek.

February 2005 --  Traffic travels on new bridges over SR 169 (foreground) and the Cedar River.  In January WSDOT shifted traffic to the new westbound roadway in this section of SR 18.  Crews are demolishing the old bridges over SR 169 and the Cedar River as the first step in building the new eastbound roadway.
