Bridge column under I-405 Crews reinforced four bridges to meet current earthquake standards.

Overview
Using 2005 Transportation Partnership (TPA) funds, we upgraded four bridges on I-405 in Renton between Sunset Boulevard NE and NE 44th Street to meet current seismic standards and better withstand earthquakes.

Crews widened cross beams, installed girder supports and walls to reinforce the bridges. These upgrades improve the integrity and performance of the bridges in the event of an earthquake.
