For more than a decade, the Washington State Dept. of Transportation (WSDOT) has been a leader in delivering everything from megaprojects to small jobs across the Pacific Northwest. And the agency hasn’t slowed pace, even after completing key elements of the Alaskan Way Viaduct Program—including the 2019 opening of the $3.3-billion SR 99 tunnel—and the 2016 rebuild of the world’s-longest floating bridge on State Route 520.
Today, the 119-year-old agency oversees more than 20,000 lane miles of roadway, 3,000 vehicular bridges and an array of rail lines, ferries and airports. On top of that, WSDOT has hundreds of active jobs, including revival projects on Interstate 5 through Seattle, the Alaskan Way Viaduct, bridge work associated with the SR 520 project, mountain pass work as part of the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass phasing and major additions in the I-405/SR 167 project.
