Oct 24, 2011 - Thank you for this! I'm very excited to see this go away; yes, I know it was an icon of Seattle but I'm optimistic we will replace the viaduct with something better.Question though (not sure if wsdot reads youtube comments) but will the simulation showing the step by step process of replacing the south end of the viaduct be updated to show where the tunnel and eventual SR99 alignment will be? Much like the new Mercer street simulation does.

Oct 24, 2011 - I don't have twitter, but I found out that wsdot has a facebook page so I think I'll copy my question there.
