I've driven over this bridge thousands of times, more than any other. They re-did the Hwy 99 bridge a half-mile to the east several years back; I'd always wondered if/when this one would likewise be fixed.

North Burlington Blvd/Riverside Drive already are clogged with traffic, with a Costco, a Cabela's, and several resturants. The intersection that half of that traffic will go through (College Way and Riverside) is already the fourth-busiest in the state. What a MESS.

Very thankful that this accident took no human life.

It’s an interstate highway bridge. I don’t know what the state was thinking by not replacing what is an obviously inadequate bridge.

I live in Burlington 1 mile from the bridge and I am amazed that they are routing traffic over the 536 bridge which is a much older draw bridge through downtown Mt. Vernon. Not going to be fun to go anywhere around here for quite some time.

Been over that bridge a few times myself, though, my crossings were 30 years ago when I was stationed at Whidbey Island NAS.
