I-90 anchor cable replacement - the diver working underwater
To replace anchor cables on the I-90 Lake Washington floating bridges, the divers must work in a fairly hostile environment. It's dark and murky at the bottom of the lake.
A camera is mounted on the diver's helmet. It provides a live video feed which shows the crew back on the barge what the diver is seeing and doing.
This is photo of the monitor on the work barge showing the diver's hands.
The divers are replacing 21 of the 108 anchor cables that help stabilize the I-90 floating bridges against wind and waves.
