	Spliced Girders Smooth Centennial Trail's Path (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		To alleviate intersection congestion between the historic Centennial Trail and bridge traffic, the trail was lowered and moved closer to the riverbank, allowing a cast-in-place abutment to work in conjunction with the precast concrete girders to create a windowed tunnel under the bridge.
		These consisted of a three-span steel bridge using six lines of plate girders, requiring two piers in the river; a three-span cast-in-place design using pier tables with drop-in precast pieces between the tables; a four-span precast option using conventional WSDOT girder shapes; and a three-span precast spliced-girder approach.
		The new bridge was located adjacent to the original one, allowing traffic to continue to flow over the river during construction.
