A new South Park Bridge: The neighborhood made it happen

This bridge is the last thing of this kind we will do for a while unless the Legislature gets off its butt.

— King County Executive Dow Constantine, speaking at the reopening of the South Park Bridge in South Park, Seattle. Constantine and other local leaders have been pushing the Legislature for years to craft a transportation package to improve mobility. The new South Park Bridge was financed with federal money, local money, and some funds from Boeing and the Port of Seattle.
