Murray Morgan Bridge Recabling - One Step Closer?
We know how much you all love (or hate) the Murray Morgan Bridge. It seems that we’re one step closer … to something. If you recall, the rehabilitation of the bridge is a multi-step process. It all begins with the cables and an estimated $3 million price tag.
The Washington State Department of Transportation issue a call for bids last week for the recabling project.
The bids will be opened on April 29th and the project is tentatively scheduled to be completed in October.

WOOHOO. I’m in the “Love it” column.

I love the bridge. I used to enjoy running over it and jumping over dead seagulls and potholes. Now that’s it lighter longer I may resume jogging across it. Maybe start a running club. Who’d be up for a running club 1X/week across the bridge or up and down the stairs?
Maybe have post run $3.00 martinis at “701”
This should be easier to get going now that it’s lighter at night and the martinis are so cheap.
Who’s in?
