The $1.4-billion rebuild of Seattle’s Portage Bay Bridge to meet current seismic resiliency standards was awarded to Skanska by the Washington State Dept. of Transportation (WSDOT) last month.
Skanska’s design-build agreement with the WSDOT covers replacing the aging Portage Bay Bridge and building a landscaped lid over the highway that will connect the Roanoke Park and North Capitol Hill neighborhoods. The agency expects construction to begin later this year and be completed by 2030.
