Featured here are “before and after” photographs of sections of the Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges, currently in the midst of a comprehensive maintenance, repair and paint project under contract with the state Department of Transportation. The spans will ultimately boast a new, shiny coat of green paint, as evidenced on the east guardrail section of Canoe Pass Bridge connecting to Fidalgo Island. The massive white shroud is part of a complex system designed to contain debris from the chipping and sandblasting process. Paint work is also being accomplished behind the fabric walls, unseen by passersby. WSDOT contractor is Cekra, Inc. from Wilmington, N.C.
