SDOT Blog » The Ten Bridges of the Spokane Street Corridor
“In general, the term “viaduct” is used to describe a bridge that does not cross a particular geographic feature such as a river or a canyon, and generally does not change elevation.”
Noted.
The 1976 bridge strike was committed by a drunken ship pilot if I remember correctly.
It should also be noted that sometime during the oughts the name was changed from ‘West Seattle Freeway’ to ‘West Seattle Bridge.’ I am unsure of the reasoning behind the change in semantics. I believe it allowed them to drop speed limits but that may be wrong. Furthermore, it is now branded the ‘Jeanette Williams Memorial Bridge.’

Comedy, tech, bikes, a mild-to-moderate Japan obsession, internet memes, food, photography, cats, Seattle. You know, the usual.
