How are your 8th gens holding up so far? Any major issues?

In September, crews will replace a trunnion and other parts that help lift and lower the I-5 Interstate Bridge. During the work, crews will close the northbound span of the bridge from September 12–20, 2020. During the closure, travelers crossing the Interstate Bridge in both directions will share the three existing lanes and sidewalk on the southbound bridge.

The custom-made trunnion pieces are still being built and scheduled for delivery in August before the scheduled closure. The trunnion is like a giant bolt that goes through the wheel that holds the weight of the pulley system that lifts and lowers the bridge. More information about the project and what to expect during construction is available at: http://www.InterstateBridge.org
