A crane operator and crews on the ground skillfully remove a large girder from a semi-truck. The girder will help makeup the backbone of the 93rd Avenue bridge over Interstate 5 in Tumwater. The key bridge element required replacement after being struck by an overheight load in 2015. While this operation was underway, all northbound I-5 was diverted traffic through the interchange. WSDOT typically does this work at night in an attempt to minimize disruptions to traffic. The girder installation occurred during overnight hours of Tuesday, May 9, 2017
