News ReleaseRelease date: October 4, 2000
Elliott Bridge east of Renton to be closed Friday and Saturday for testing
A recent inspection revealed deterioration to the bottom beams of the steel trusses that support the bridge. Repairs on the bridge are almost complete but tests are needed to determine what the new load limit on the bridge should be. The bridge is currently posted for a maximum gross vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds, or 5 tons. In essence, only passenger cars and light trucks are being allowed to cross the bridge. After the results of this week's tests are evaluated, a new load limit will be posted. ### |
