Bullfrog Road overpass damaged by semi-truck

Contractor crews are working to finish the construction of the Bullfrog Road overpass that was damaged by a semi-truck in October. The driver was subsequently cited for permit violations.

From Tuesday, Jan. 6, to Thursday, Jan. 8, crews will be removing the forms under the pre-cast girders on the overpass.

Only one westbound lane will remain open during this time.

“Travelers are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and stay alert for workers and detour signs in the area,” WSDOT stated in a news release.

The agency noted crews will be finishing up work on the surface of the new overpass through January. The project is expected to be finished by the end of the month.
