Those are great pics. Always nice to see a road from an uncommon POV.

My cousin lived in Seattle and claimed that the Thompson fwy was going to be I-905. I have never seen corroborating evidence for that.

Love the perspectives from the water. Did the same thing in 2006 from a kayak under the I-10 Escambia Bay Bridges (both the old ones and new ones u/c).

Have a few photos posted on these pages:
