I went north to Mount Vernon to see the construction of the temporary span for the I-5 Skagit River Bridge. I took some shots with my (decent) phone camera, so enjoy.

ha, I didn't go nearly that close to it. One of my roommates and I went camping, and we wanted to stop by his place in Whidbey Island. Instead of taking Mukilteo, we decided to take the long way.

I only took the US 99 bridge. Probably would've done what you (Bruce) did if I knew I could.
