I robbed this pic off of local 302's website. I couldn't read the whole article that the Seattle Daily of Commerce Journal wrote up because I don't have subscription, but Washington's DOT website has some awesome pics and videos.This is on the Hood Canal bridge on the Washington Peninsula. Kiewit/General is the contractor. Its nice to see them finally getting to work on this project, after all the delays with having to find a new location for a graving dock and all. (There first one in Port Angeles was shut down after finding some artifacts.) I think they ended up building one in the Olympia area, but I'm not 100% sure.
