Packing in the grout
After the new expansion joint on the westbound I-90 East Channel Bridge near Mercer Island is in place, workers pack grout all around the edges to help seal and protect the joint.
It's labor intensive, time-consuming work that needs to be done before new concrete is poured into place.
Contractor crews are replacing two expansion joints on the bridge because the existing expansion joints have cracks and the rubber seal is broken.
The new expansion joints help preserve the integrity of the bridge and ensure drivers safety.
