Rainbow Bridge ageing gracefully - Alexander Kramer
For being more than two-thirds of the way through its projected lifespan, Rainbow Bridge is showing signs of age, but engineers say it should last for many more years. In April, a crew of state and county inspectors caused traffic delays as the bridge was examined inch by inch. In Washington, the state tries to inspect bridges about every two years. By the end of this year, the state expects to complete inspections on 1,960 bridges. Inspectors look at the integrity of every bridge component--the concrete, paint, and every bolt.
