The South 216th Street Bridge has nearly completed the installation of its concrete girders -- a heavy beam to support the deck of a bridge.
The South 216th Street Bridge in SeaTac has nearly completed the installation of its concrete girders — a heavy beam to support the deck of a bridge. It is a significant milestone in the construction project that started in early 2022.
“Each girder is 168 feet long and weighs 191,000 pounds,” Kris Olsen, a communications manager with WSDOT, told KIRO Newsradio. “They’re big. After we placed the girders and we start building the bridge deck and adding the rebar that’s needed, we expect the bridge should be open and operational by the end of the summer.”
“What people need to remember however, and this is really important, is our lane closures start at 8 p.m.,” Olsen added. “You’re just going to start seeing those backups and they will persist. The best advice that I have is to take alternate routes. Consider 167 or take 99.”
