Port of Tacoma

The #PortofTacoma is applying for an EPA Brownfields Cleanup grant to assist with remediating a parcel of land within the Port Maritime Center site. This historically contaminated parcel is in need of cleanup due to past industrial uses at this location. Prior to submitting the grant application, we invite you to review the application and supporting documents and send us your comments and feedback. Join us to learn more about the project at an online information session with Port remediation staff on Nov. 7 at noon. Learn more here: bit.ly/3Yk69Ks

Did you notice that Washington State Department of Transportation finished its work on I-5 between SR 18 in Federal Way and 54th Avenue East in Fife a week ahead of schedule? This involved installing 15 of the second-longest precast concrete girders in the world and demolishing the decommissioned 70th Ave E bridge, all as part of the SR 167 Completion Project.
