RICH POUR - Sept 21 ,2012

They poured the final part of the deck today. After allowing the weekend for the concrete to cure, they will be removing forms Monday or Tuesday. You should be back to having two lanes open by the later part of next week. 

The next step is to install barrier at the edges of the bridge.

Once that is complete, the project will go into winter hibernation, as will this blog. 

Watch the Thurston County Public Works website for notification of when we will resume both construction work and blog posts next spring.

And remember to follow our Public Works Twitter feed to stay notified of road conditions throughout the county this winter.
