Error in construction requires that it be rebuilt
New First Ave ramp barricade demolished
A 160 foot section of barricade for the new on and off ramp for First Ave. on the Spokane Street Widening Project had to be demolished due to a construction error. The green rebar is an indicator of how new the work is. The green coating protects against rust.

A barricade along a section of the new westbound First Avenue on and off ramp to the Spokane Street Viaduct has been demolished because it was built in error. This is part of the Spokane Street Widening Project. The ramps are expected to open next fall.
The section is 160 feet long and was intended to have a curve but was instead built to be straight, an error of some five inches. The contractor has demolished the section and will rebuild it at no cost to the city
