Problem area
During an in-depth inspection of the SR 99 George Washington Bridge, Washington State Department of Transportation bridge inspectors found advanced deterioration of steel on this stringer. Stringers are the giant steel beams that run parallel to the lanes of traffic. While the bridge is safe for travel, the southbound lane above this area is closed out of an abundance of caution.
