Automated viaduct closure gates testing

TV news videographers shoot the testing of the Alaskan Way Viaduct's new automated closure gates system at the Bell Street on-ramp in Seattle. The system closes all nine access points to the viaduct when sensors detect an earthquake. WSDOT tested the system during the viaduct's semiannual inspection and maintenance closures on March 19-20, 2011.
