Deteriorating expansion joint
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.
