Gov. Gregoire�s statement on SR 520 replacement draft recommendation

For Immediate Release: November 17, 2009

OLYMPIA � Gov. Chris Gregoire today issued the following statement on the draft recommendation of an SR 520 bridge replacement option by the SR 520 Legislative Workgroup:

�My top priority is to ensure that the process of replacing the 520 bridge continues without delay. This week�s windstorm is a reminder of the type of risks we face with the current structure. I appreciate that the SR 520 Legislative Workgroup is continuing to make progress and look forward to public comment on their recommendation. We must keep the replacement process moving forward so we can build a new, safer SR 520 floating bridge.�
