    We retired our construction cameras when our viaduct work wrapped up, but is your new go-to source for all your construction camera needs.👇

    You don’t have to wait until construction of the new Alaskan and Elliott ways is done to see how it all happens - we have two cameras up and you can view construction live anytime!

    It's worth noting that work is not yet complete at the tunnel's old south portal. This area will be topped with soil, seeded with grass, and then the slope turned over to the City of Seattle. But the tunnel's interior has now been completely filled.

    Crews have begun the final stage of filling Seattle's old Battery Street Tunnel. They are pouring low-density cellular concrete, a kind of "concrete meringue" that protects utilities but could still be dug through in the future. Learn more:

    Emergency maintenance - like our bridge crew fixing a large pothole on the SR 507 Deschutes bridge - has been vital in keeping essential travel safe. The crew used protective gear to respond safely and quickly. Nice work team!

    Three road workers wearing masks with hoses attached fix a pothole on a bridge. Text says Last month the Washington State Patrol reported a large pothole on the SR 507 bridge across the Deschutes River in Thurston County. The Olympic Region Bridge crew quickly responded wearing safety gear that included protective headgear with a face shield and forced filtered air.

    The weekend will be beautiful & the draw to go out & enjoy it will be high. We've adjusted our signs to encourage people to continue what we're doing. Limit non-essential travel & find ways close to home to enjoy the sun while keeping us all safe & healthy.

    Bob Essex keeps providing great service at our terminals & toll booths during this emergency but he misses seeing so many regular commuters. He & his teammates work hard to keep our ferries safe for those who must travel. Thanks Bob!

    The SB SR 99 tunnel is open after an overnight maintenance closure. Our maintenance crews were able to create a temporary fix for the leak above the roadway. Our contractor will be out over the next week to make a permanent repair.

    One year ago, construction crews unburied the SR 99 tunnel's northbound on-ramp near the stadiums. It had been built and then buried for several years while SR 99 bypass traffic drove over top of it.
