Alaskan Way Viaduct to be Replaced

Finally after much controversy on whether to rebuild, replace, or repair, Gov. Christine Gregoire will officially sign the bill at 2pm PST to have the Seattle Viaduct (pictured here) replaced.

The current elevated structure, which more than 100,000 vehicles travel per day, will be replaced by a tunnel running under the waterfront.

The state will pitch in $2 billion leaving another $2 billion or more to Seattle and King County.
