This is a closeup view of the containment system around the area that must be repaired on the SR 410 White River Bridge between Enumclaw and Buckley.
An overhead steel beam on the bridge was damaged after it was struck by an over-height vehicle.
Because the bridge has lead-based paint, a containment system is required to protect the White River and workers.
The workers must scrape off the paint and then the steel beam will be slowly straightened and resecured to the bridge.
