What does it take to rebuild an entire freeway ramp, move it about 100 yards and raise it about 20 feet? A lot of workers, and a lot of dirt.
On Aug. 27, we opened a new ramp connecting Weyerhaeuser Way and westbound SR 18 to northbound I-5 in Federal Way (nearly a week early, by the way). And it was no small task.
Project inspector Sam Al-Mallah explains the work. For more information go to: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/i5/sr18sr161ic/.
Waiting for 18 to become I-605
I heard that was why they are changing it to meet Interstate standards
