You know those jokes about construction workers just standing around? Washington’s Department of Transportation just put up a timelapse video on YouTube of what they did over the weekend that will make you feel pretty lazy in comparison. SR 520 was closed from 11 p.m. Friday night until 5 a.m. Monday morning, and one of the projects WSDOT worked into the bridge inspection was the installation of an 11-foot-diameter culvert beneath all lanes of SR 520 just west of I-405. (The fish say thank you.)
The weekend passes in one minute, forty-eight seconds, and the action is non-stop. I give it five stars, even if the race-against-time setup feels a little predictable.
