SEATTLE — Community celebrates completion of new South Park Bridge
Thousands of people were at the celebration for the completion of the new South Park Bridge Sunday.
The bridge will open to drivers Monday morning.
The bridge was shut down in 2010 because it was a safety hazard. The cost for the new bridge was $96 million.
"Five years ago, I pledged to do all within my capacity to secure funding for the South Park Bridge," said King County Executive Dow Constantine. "Today is the day we deliver on that promise -- thanks to the partnership of our funding partners, and the determination of the people and businesses of South Park who inspired us never to give up."
