This photo of showing the end of one of the expansion joints on the westbound I-90 East Channel Bridge near Mercer Island, WA says it all.
It's broken, corroded and in bad shape.
This kind of deterioration is why the expansion joints on the bridge are being replaced in July 2014.
The expansion joint is one of two on the bridge that is being replaced in this critical highway safety and preservation project.
The expansion joints on the westbound East Channel Bridge are 33 years old. The steel has cracked and the rubber seal is broken. Replacing the joints helps preserve the integrity of the bridge and keeps drivers safe.

The expansion of the Panama Canal (Third Set of Locks Project) will double the capacity of the Panama Canal by allowing more and larger ships to transit.
The expansion - Gallery II
We're proud to present our latest project the ADA Showroom which is on the second floor in our building. Giving a nice contrast of the existing grey / graphite colors on our first floor, this floor is light with pure white and the steel stands only. Still a few things ahead, but shortly you will see here many new planted aquariums - nature aquariums. With the expansion we will have the largest aquascaping showroom in Europe and a huge gallery of ADA products.
2019 is a big year for health insurance developments affecting consumers and coverage options.
For over 30 years, Short term health insurance has provided coverage for a defined period of time and generally includes a much lower premium than other types of major medical coverage.
Until April of 2017, the coverage period was determined by state law, with the majority of states permitting terms of 364 days or less. Now, the final rule extends the duration of short term coverage from 3 months to 12 months (364 days) depending on state availability and limitations.
Specifically, the language in the plan must inform insureds that the plans do not comply with the Minimum Essential Coverage requirements of the Affordable Care Act. This is important because the ACA currently issues an individual mandate penalty, which equates to 2.5% of one’s yearly household income, or $695 per adult plus $347.50 per child with a $2,085 household maximum - whichever amount is greater.
This penalty will, however, be phased out as of January 1, 2019, meaning you could find and even apply for the best short term health insurance policy for you today without the financial burden of paying the individual mandate penalty.
The outgoing Obama administration made a significant change, issuing a regulatory final rule which cut the maximum duration term limit of short term health insurance from 12 to less than 3 months. This limit was changed on August 1, 2018 by another regulation designed to expand access to short term health coverage. The rule reinstates the 364 day maximum term limit and allows carriers to offer reapply options for up to 36 months. The changes officially took effect on October 2, 2018.
One of the most attractive aspects of short term health insurance is the cost, but many people shy away from short term plans because they are so limited. Why is that? When a plan is limited to three months, it may not address insurance needs fully. Now, however, the legislative change allows individuals to take advantage of more affordable health care for up to three years.
When you apply for a short term plan, you will need to go through medical underwriting. Applications can be rejected. Short term plans often do not cover many of the same things that ACA-compliant plans will address.
The Trump Regulation specifically states that the expansion will “expand more affordable coverage options to consumers who desire and need them, to help individuals avoid paying for benefits provided in individual health insurance coverage that they believe are not worth the cost, to reduce the number of uninsured individuals, and to make available more coverage options with broader access to providers than certain individual health insurance coverage has.”
With this rule now in place, Americans have more affordable choices than ever when it comes to finding the right health insurance for their budget.
7 Major Changes to Health Insurance in 2019
1. No Penalty: In 2019, there is no fine for not having health insurance from the ACA Healthcare Exchange
2. Longer Short Term Medical Plans: Plans can for up to 364 days in most states and 36 months in some others
3. Association Health Plans: Smaller companies and industry groups can now offer health plans with less comprehensive coverage at a lower rate.
4. Health Reimbursement Arrangements: As an alternative to group plans, employers can offer reimbursements for employees who buy their own health insurance.
5. Medicare Enrollment Changes: If you have Medicare Advantage, open enrollment now lasts from January 1st to March 31st where you can change your plan, or switch to Original Medicare.
6. More Ways to Get Insurance: Compare ACA plans with other alternatives on open marketplaces like AgileHealthInsurance.com to find health insurance that works for you.

This was Phase 2 of the Trolley Expansion Project. It would add an additional 39 miles of overhead to the system for a total of 85 route-miles. The 85 miles of new overhead would've cost $30.2 Million in 1983 ($64.1 Million in 2007 dollars). 92 new articulated trolley coaches would be purchased for an additional $29.9M ($63.5M in 2007 dollars). The construction of the entire expansion would've taken 30 months.
Had the project were fully built out, the future RapidRide to Ballard, West Seattle, and Aurora Village would've used electric buses instead of diesel-hybrids.
Viewed from above the scale of the expansion to the Fantasyland area of the Magic Kingdom is very obvious.

KYLES is a rare survivor, a representative of Clyde shipbuilding dating from the 1870s - a period of expansion for both the shipbuilding on the west coast of Scotland and for Glasgow as a whole. She was launched on Tuesday 12 March 1872 at the Merksworth yard of John Fullarton & Co of Paisley. Her engines were supplied and fitted by Wm. King & Co of the Dock Engine Works, Glasgow. Her first register entry in Lloyds lists her as a 90A1 flush deck lighter with an iron hull and a pitch pine deck. She was fitted with a single pitch pine mast and derrick and carried a single suit of sails.
She was registered in Glasgow and her first owner was Stuart Manford of 24 Oswald Street in the city. KYLES was a basic cargo coaster, typical of the many built by the smaller yards on the Clyde. Manford worked her as a tender for the firth of Clyde fishing fleet. The fishing fleet tenders collected the catch from the fishing boats and transported the fish to railheads on the coast allowing the fleet itself to remain profitably at the fishing grounds. In 1881 Manford sold KYLES to William Vietch, a chemical manufacturer resident in Creiff in Perthshire. Only a few years later he sold her on to another owner in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Records show that KYLES was bought and sold several times over the next fifteen years, although her port of registry remained Glasgow. It was not until 1900 that this was altered
and she was registered at Hull.
Only a year later, she was purchased by a grocer and corn dealer from Pontypridd in Wales, who was the first in a succession of owners in the South Wales area. From 1919 to 1921 she was working in the East Kent and Thames waters, before once again being bought by a Welsh owner - this time a Cardiff tug master. During all these years she had been used for the purpose she had been built for and carried heavy and general cargoes on short coastal voyages. The first major change in KYLES’s structure was made in 1921 when she was converted to work as a sand dredger in the Bristol Channel, lifting sand and gravel for the building industries.
By the outbreak of the Second World War, KYLES seems to have been taken out of service and de-registered. She was surveyed in 1942 while laid up on the Glamorganshire canal, and was found to be in poor condition. She was acquired by a salvage contractor and sold on to Ivor P Langford, a ship owner and ship repairer based at Sharpness near Gloucester. Langford bought her in 1944 and had her repaired and structurally altered, removing the dredging equipment to return her to a modernised cargo form. The alterations were substantial and included enlarging the forecastle and poop and adding improved and expanded crew quarters. KYLES was reregistered at Gloucester.
Members of the Langford family recollect that he had a particular affection for KYLES. She was the only vessel in his fleet that he did not rename, possibly because he respected the fact that she had managed to keep her original name for such a long time. Langford worked her as a steamer in the Bristol Channel for a number of years, then in 1953 had her converted from steam to a diesel engine. In 1960 she was converted structurally once again to function as a sludge tanker for dumping industrial waste in the Bristol Channel. Eventually she was downgraded even from this lowly work and became a storage hulk for the waste, which was taken out for dumping by another, more modern, tanker.
The Langford family had by this time retained a long association with KYLES and were keen to ensure that a vessel of such age and varied history should be preserved. There were moves to establish a maritime museum at Gloucester but in the meantime the Langfords accepted an offer from Captain Peter M Herbert of Bude, who had himself a long career in the coasting trade. KYLES became a celebrated vessel in the Bude area.
During the early 1980s the West of Scotland Boat Museum Association, precursor of the Scottish Maritime Museum, was established and came to the notice of Peter Herbert, who offered to sell KYLES to the group. On 8 November 1984 the Scottish Maritime Museum became the 24th registered owner of the vessel and KYLES was reregistered in Glasgow, 112 years after her first appearance in the records.
In 1996 funding for a full restoration of the vessel became available. It was decided to recognise KYLES’ long and varied career in the restoration and that the most suitable appearance to restore her to was to take her back to her 1953 refit when she was changed from steam to diesel power. Work began in 1997 to strip out the sludge tanks, reinstate the original hatch and hatch cover and replicate the mast and derrick. Her wheelhouse had been removed in the 1970s and this was replicated from old photographs of the vessel. Work was completed in 1999 and after sea trials KYLES made a well publicised arrival back to her birthplace on the river Clyde where she formed part of the displays at Clydebuilt, the Scottish Maritime Museum at Braehead. Now relocated to Irvine and still on the water at the museum pontoons.
In 2020-21, KYLES was repainted and repaired thanks to the "Keep the Kyles Afloat" public fundraising campaign.
It is believed to be the oldest Clyde-built vessel still afloat.
Was able to fit the new DaveFab aluminium coolant expansion tank. Fitment 100%, straight swap without any issues. I used some black silicone hose for the overflow nipple.
Looks great and is also good for piece of mind, as this will not crack like the plastic tank.
I love the little inspection window :)

Collection
The foundation of the collection consists of 205 mostly French and Dutch paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries which Margravine Karoline Luise acquired 1759-1776. From this collection originate significant works, such as The portrait of a young man by Frans van Mieris the Elder, The winter landscape with lime kiln of Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem, The Lacemaker by Gerard Dou, the Still Life with hunting equipment and dead partridge of Willem van Aelst, The Peace in the Chicken yard by Melchior de Hondecoeter as well as a self-portrait by Rembrandt van Rijn. In addition, four still lifes of Jean Siméon Chardin and two pastoral scenes by François Boucher, having been commissioned directly by the Marchioness from artists.
A first significant expansion the museum received in 1858 by the collection of canon Johann Baptist von Hirscher (1788-1865) with works of religious art of the 15th and 16th centuries. This group includes works such as two tablets of the Sterzinger altar and the wing fragment The sacramental blessing of Bartholomew Zeitblom. From 1899 to 1920, the native of Baden painter Hans Thoma held the position of Director of the Kunsthalle. He acquired old masterly paintings as the tauberbischofsheim altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and drove the expansion of the collection with art of the 19th century forward. Only his successors expanded the holdings of the Art Gallery with works of Impressionism and the following generations of artists.
The permanent exhibition in the main building includes approximately 800 paintings and sculptures. Among the outstanding works of art of the Department German painters of the late Gothic and Renaissance are the Christ as Man of Sorrows by Albrecht Dürer, the Carrying of the Cross and the Crucifixion by Matthias Grünewald, Maria with the Child by Lucas Cranach the Elder, the portrait of Sebastian Brant by Hans Burgkmair the elder and The Nativity of Hans Baldung. Whose Margrave panel due to property disputes in 2006 made it in the headlines and also led to political conflicts. One of the biggest buying successes which a German museum in the postwar period was able to land concerns the successive acquisition of six of the seven known pieces of a Passion altar in 1450 - the notname of the artist after this work "Master of the Karlsruhe Passion" - a seventh piece is located in German public ownership (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne).

From Joseph Anton Koch, the Kunsthalle possesses a Heroic landscape with rainbow, from Georg Friedrich Kersting the painting The painter Gerhard Kügelgen in his studio, from Caspar David Friedrich the landscape rocky reef on the sea beach and from Karl Blechen view to the Monastery of Santa Scolastica. Other important works of this department are the disruption of Adolph Menzel as well as the young self-portrait, the portrait Nanna Risi and The Banquet of Plato of Anselm Feuerbach.
For the presentation of the complex of oeuvres by Hans Thoma, a whole wing in 1909 at the Kunsthalle was installed. Main oeuvres of the arts are, for example, the genre picture The siblings as well as, created on behalf of the grand-ducal family, Thoma Chapel with its religious themes.
Of the German contemporaries of Hans Thoma, Max Liebermann on the beach of Noordwijk and Lovis Corinth with a portrait of his wife in the museum are represented. Furthermore the Kunsthalle owns works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Carl Spitzweg, Arnold Böcklin, Hans von Marées, Wilhelm Leibl, Fritz von Uhde, Wilhelm Trübner and Max Klinger.
In the building of the adjacent Orangerie works of the collection and new acquisitions from the years after 1952 can be seen.

Half of an old expansion joint on the Steamboat Slough Bridge south of Marysville, WA is gone. Now the area will be prepped for a new expansion joint half.
Over the weekend of March 19-20 contractor crews began replacing the left halves of the two expansion joints on the bridge.
The expansion joints on this bridge are 20 years old and have reached the end of their useful lifespans.
Bridge expansions joints are critical to ensure the safety and integrity of the span. The expansion joints allow the concrete decks to expand and contract with the weather and changing traffic. A failing expansion joint can compromise a bridge and pose a safety hazard for drivers.
More information about the I-5 Union, Steamboat and Ebey Slough bridge expansion joint replacement project is available on the WSDOT website: www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/I5/UnionSteamboatEbeyBridgeRpr/...
Town Hall Square (Vienna)
The inner part of the town square
Street sign town square
The Town Hall Square is located in the first District of Vienna, Inner City. It is named after the erected here (new) Vienna City Hall. Due to its size, design and architecture of the buildings bordering the square it is considered one of the most important places in the center of Vienna.
History
Vienna City Hall , View from 1891
In the area of today's town square was once the Josefstädterstraße Glacis, held as a free field of fire meadows before the walls of Vienna, and later the parade and parade ground of the Imperial Army. During the construction of the Ringstrasse from 1858 this military site remained untouched for some time until the army after long efforts of Mayor Cajetan Felder had abstained and the expansion of the city funds could develop a Baulinienplan (building line plan) for the area. During this time, other locations were considered for the Hall.
Now the Town Hall Square, the largest square in the recessed ring road zone was provided. The northern and southern part of the square shaped city gardener Rudolf Siebeck 1872/1873 as City Hall Park, the central square of the axis Town Hall-Burgtheater, was kept free. 1873, the foundation was laid for the construction of the New Town Hall. 1874, work began on the Town Hall at the former Franzensring opposite the Burgtheater and the south of the square adjacent parliament building (north side front: Town Square 6). From 1877 to the new main building of the University of Vienna (southern side front: Town Square 5 ) built. Are installed on the three sides of the square five blocks with nine home numbers (No. 1 to No. 9), the fourth side is bordered by the ring.
In course of time the name of the place changed four times. In 1870 he was created as Town Hall Square, renamed in 1907 after the incumbent Christian Social mayor in Dr.-Karl -Lueger -Platz. The dominant Red Vienna since 1919, this appeared to be inappropriate, as Lueger in Vienna had prevented the universal and equal male suffrage, in 1907 introduced at state level. Therefore, the of a private committee donated Luegerdenkmal under the rule of mayor Karl Seitz was not, as intended by the Committee, in the town square erected but built in 1926 on a previously unnamed square corner Wollzeile/Stubenring and this place in the same year Dr.-Karl-Lueger-Platz named. The town square was returned to its original name . In 1938, the place was again renewed to Adolf Hitler Platz, what was reversed in 1945.
Christmas Market at City Hall
The large space between City Hall and the Burgtheater was used by all the rulers for political rallies. Since 1921, with its current form dates back to 1929 and was interrupted from 1933 to 1945, it is the traditional final rally of the Vienna SPÖ Maiaufmarsches (May-Procession) on 1 In May at the Town Hall Square. In addition, the space is exploited for most of the year for cultural and social events. The most important of them since 1975, the Christmas market in November and December, the Vienna Ice Dream in January and February, the opening of the Vienna Festival in May and open-air cinema screenings with classical music in July and August. The Life Ball at Vienna City Hall refers also to the town square. Traditionally, a since 1959 every year from one of the states erected large Christmas tree as a gift to the federal capital.
Location and characteristics
The Town Hall Square is located between the extended Grillparzerstraße to the north, the University Ring to the east, the extended Stadiongasse in the south and the extended Reichsratsstrasse in the West. Except the ring on which there are no buildings on this street, bear the buildings that are on the place in the wake of these streets, house numbers of the town square. Stadiongasse and Grillparzerstraße end before the court, the Reichsratsstrasse is interrupted by the court.
About two- thirds of the space area of 40,000 m² are taken from the City Hall park, which is divided by a blocked to traffic, very wide access road between the Burgtheater and the Rathaus, which offers space for events, into a northern and southern half. The town square is lined by some of the most important monumental Ringstrassen-Zone in historicist style. In the square itself is a large number of monuments and statues. Thus, the town square is one of the most representative places in Vienna.
The tram lines 1 and D operate on the ring road and have at the City Hall Square opposite the Burg Theatre and at the corner of Parliament stops. Coming from the south and from the ring turning, operates tram line 2 on the southern edge of the town square to Stadiongasse. The individual passes through traffic heading north on the eastern edge of the square on the ring road in the opposite direction behind the Town Hall on the two-line (Zweierlinie). Cycling trails pass off on the ring road and at the Grillparzerstraße and Stadiongasse. Behind the town hall runs the subway line U2 to the City Hall with the subway station as shuttle to City Hall and City Hall Square.
Building
City hall
The central building in the middle of the west side of the town square is the City Hall, built in 1873-1883 by Friedrich von Schmidt, New Town Hall, Town Hall called only since about 1970. The powerful, dominating the square building was designed by the Dutch Gothic models. It should express the political power of the strengthened bourgeosie against the monarch and the aristocracy.
The City Council has at the Town Hall no main entrance or direct access to the arcade court, they are located on the side fronts of Felderstraße and Lichtenfelsgasse, another entrance is at the rear front at the Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz. The town hall itself is essentially the so-called People's Hall on the ground floor of the town hall via a staircase outdoors is accessible (inputs centered under the town hall tower and left and right). The People's Hall is occasionally used for exhibitions. The outlet is located at the corner of Felderstraße to City Hall basement.

Foyer with ceiling painting Apotheosis of Vindobona, Town Hall Square 4
No. 2, 3 and 4: Arcade Shops
The block north of City Hall was built in 1880-1883 by Franz von Neumann. Plan requirement was to equip the buildings (such as on the west side of the Imperial Parliament Street, in the course of which they are) at the town square with arcades. Held in the old German style, houses have remarkable corner projections made with domes. At the central projection there are respectively balconies on herma. The attic floor is decorated with stucco relief female figures. The rib-vaulted arcades are painted with grotesques by Franz and Carl Jobst and equipped with cast iron lanterns. Particularly important are the foyers on No. 4 (and at the back of the block on the Ebendorferstraße 4). Frieze reliefs show the allegories of commerce, the arts and commerce. A large ceiling painting depicts the apotheosis of Vindobona. Lanterns and railings are made of wrought iron.
No. 5: University of Vienna, Main Building
Town Hall Square and front side of the university 's main building in 1900
The Town Hall Square side facing the front of the main university building today (2007 )
On the north side of the town square is the front side of the main building of the University of Vienna. The main work of the late phase of the strict historicism was built in 1873-1884 by Heinrich von Ferstel. The 29-axle side facade is broken repeatedly by risalits as well as by half and full columns. Statues of Anton Schmidgruber and Franz Koch standing in relation to the philosophical faculty. The building has no open entrance here .
No. 6: Parliament
On the south side of the town square is the side front of the parliament building, which was built as Reichsratsgebäude for Cisleithania. It is the most important work of the architect Theophil von Hansen, the latter founded 1871-1883 by ancient Greek models. At the Town Hall Square, the Parliament has a covered side entrance, originally a carriage way.
No. 7, 8 and 9 houses with arcades
Dome on the corner risalt, Town Hall Square 7
South of the Town Hall is located one block of houses with arcades, built 1877/1878 of City Hall architect Friedrich von Schmidt and Franz Neumann in old German forms. These were the first houses with arcades of City Hall district. Dominant are domes on corner risalit and central dome, bay windows, balconies, putti frieze and statues of Venus and Mars on the facade. In the rib-vaulted arcades are embedded gates with half column portals and acroterion figures. The lobbies are decorated with stucco ceilings, among other rich and grotesque painting. At No. 8 is located under the arcades the in City Hall circles famous café and pastry shop Sluka.
City Hall Park
At the request of Mayor Felder the City Hall Park was created as a complementary recreation area in the Ring Road zone. It is a strictly historicist Park, which was created as the city park of city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. The green area is north and south of a link road from the Burgtheater on the Ring to the City Hall laid out, which extends space-like in front of City Hall. In each of the two parts is a Rondeau Park with fountains, which are intended to highlight the two Viennese spring water lines and were financed by the builder Antonio Gabrielli.
Orientation plan
Under the old trees of the park there are five trees that are designated as natural monuments in Vienna. A lime in the southern part of the park was planted on the occasion of the 50th anniversary jubilee of Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1898, an oak tree, also in the southern part of the park in 1906 for the then incumbent mayor Karl Lueger. Winding paths lead through the two parts of the park. The garden fence is original historicist. In the northern part of the park is a large children's play area. A 1890 in the southern part of the park built weather house, destroyed during the Second World War, was renewed in 1955 with mosaics of Mary Biljan-Bilger. The modern toilet facilities were designed by Luigi Blau.
Monuments
Waldmüllerdenkmal (Monument) by Josef Engelhart, 1913
The Town Hall Square is home of a number of monuments, they are described here from the ring road starting.
(Locked) Access from the Burgtheater to City Hall
At the beginning of this approach is, turning off the ring road, left the monument to Theodor Körner, mayor, then President of the Second Republic, by Hilde Uray, bronze statue, 1963,
right of the monument to Karl Seitz, first head of state of the First Republic, then mayor in Red Vienna, by Gottfried Buchberger, bronze statue, 1962.
Directly between the two parts of the park in 1902 eight stone monuments of significant figures in the history of Vienna were placed four at each park side facing each other. They had been established in 1867 on the balustrades of the former Elizabeth Bridge over the river (Wienfluss) on Karlsplatz. When in 1897 the bridge was demolished in this area because of the light rail construction and the resulting vaulting of the Wienfluss, the eight monuments first have been put along the then still in the incision extending new light rail line on the Karlsplatz, where they but heavily by the soot of steam locomotives polluted monuments were popularly called eight chimney sweepers. Therefore, they were transferred to the town square later:

The building is under construction, it's not finished yet. Clam down. :P
Anyways, I wanted to do a desert MOC, so I made a depiction of UNI forces expanding borders to Pakistan. Does anyone know how to conquer an uncivilized country?
Yep, I hope you liked it! C&C appreciated!
A customized Tuffy the Titan pattern covers the exteriors of the TSU’s windows, this, along with a high-performance glazing, will effectively cut down excess light and save on cooling costs.
I intentionally overexposed this shot because I wanted there to be a feel of expansion with the ocean. I wanted it to float away. I did have to play with the exposure and contrast a bit in lightroom to bring back a little more detail.

SET 4 – Oxford Kroger, Post-Expansion
Moving closer to the bakery, notice how its department signage compares to but also contrasts from that of the deli. On the comparison side of things, both departments feature white letters affixed to a black base extending outward from the wall, and are set against a woodgrain pattern background. On the contrasting side, the deli has an extra black bar/shape element thingy extending upward from the base and surrounding the department sign text; bakery does not. Bakery, meanwhile, has a word cloud set against the herringbone wood pattern, whereas deli as only a blank, plank wood pattern.

SET 3 – Oxford Kroger, Post-Expansion
Also present here in the grand aisle is a separate service counter painted in black and branded solely as “Chicken.” That chicken sign looks pretty cheap, and the black paint looks rather temporary and tacky (even though it’s permanent) – the reasoning behind all this is because this isn’t what was originally planned for this space. Instead, the Oxford Kroger was supposed to get an in-store Corky’s BBQ, similar to the Germantown location – but following COVID, that Germantown one eventually closed, and the Oxford one never materialized at all. The only reminders we have of it (besides this awkward area, of course) are the old press releases and this exterior rendering showing the Corky's logo. Come to think of it, I wonder if that’s part of why this store was designed with such a large café seating area.

From the draft EIS. This was Phase 1 of a proposed expansion of the trolleybus overhead network. This would've added 46 miles of overhead. Routes 11 and 27 were dropped from the final EIS due to strong opposition from neighborhood groups concerned with "visual pollution". The plan was never completed due to budget problems. Presently, only the Eastlake Ave-15th Ave NE extension (Route 70 and 49) and Beacon Ave to Othello St (Route 36) was completed and in operation.
I added four expansion slots to the board. There's a ribbon cable connecting one of them to a Motorola 6821 on a breadboard with a DS1307 real-time clock.

This is one of dozens of bridge expansion joints on I-5 between Everett and Marysville.
Forty-one expansion joints on the I-5 bridges between the two cities will be replaced beginning in late summer 2015.
This expansion joint is located in the northbound lanes on the Ebey Slough Bridge, which is the long straight bridge just before the exit to Marysville.
The expansion joints on this bridge are 20 years old and deteriorating. Our bridge crews frequently find them broken into pieces and weld them back together.
Bridge expansions joints are critical to ensure the safety and integrity of the span. The expansion joints allow the concrete decks to expand and contract with the weather and changing traffic. A failing expansion joint can compromise a bridge and pose a safety hazard for drivers.
More information about the I-5 Union, Steamboat and Ebey Slough bridge expansion joint replacement project is available on the WSDOT website: www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/i5/unionsteamboatebeybridgerpr/
