Starting Monday, June 26, Washington State Department of Transportation’s contactor, Granite Construction, will resume joint rehabilitation work on several bridges on I-205 by replacing concrete headers and resealing the joints. Doing this work will provide a smoother transition between the highway and the bridge approaches.
