Building a better bridge

The first of 10 pilings is lowered into its hole April 10 for the new Bandaret Bridge over Issaquah Creek on Southeast May Valley Road. The 63-foot long ‘cage’ of rebar, weighing 17,000 pounds, was lowered into an 80-foot deep hole, with the cement pour to follow. Traffic is alternately one lane until November, when the $5.5 million bridge will be finished. By Greg Farrar
