WSDOT recently published its quarterly performance and accountability report, the Gray Notebook, and states that 92.1 percent of state-owned bridges measured by deck area are in fair or better condition. It is an improvement from 91.4 percent in 2010, and shows about a 700,000 square foot reduction in the bridges by deck area that were in poor condition.

I know there are a lot of conversations happening around this. The intent, to keep carpool lanes moving at 45+ MPH, appears to be working. I am torn. I see bigger challenges that need to be solved, but when I was driving 405 and carpooling, it really didn’t save much time. So.. I am curious what you all think?

A week into I-405 express toll lanes: more choices for a faster commute
Drivers are saving an average of 15-25 minutes in express toll lanes
BELLEVUE – More drivers are using the new Interstate 405 express toll lanes, according to data collected from last week’s commute.
“Every day is different, and each driver has a different experience,” said Washington State Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Craig Stone. “Overall, last week’s I-405 travel times have been lower than they were a year ago.”

For the first time in years, Interstate 405 drivers had a choice today for a reliable weekday commute using express toll lanes. For $1.50 in the morning and a 75 cent toll in the afternoon, drivers saved about 30 minutes on their commute between Bellevue and Lynnwood.
