Look, we know you're bombarded with 2025 Wrapped/Replay posts. But ours includes a majestic floating bridge and TLC, so… we felt compelled to share. What were you listening to in 2025, 520 fam?!

📸Two new Portage Bay construction cam feeds just went live! The elements kept messing with our earlier feeds, but we tightened things up. 🪛

A nice upgrade and a way to beat the doom scroll. Check it out now: app.truelook.cloud/dashboard/19...

Heads up!

Work is underway right now on northbound I-5 near SR 520 for emergency shoulder repairs. The left lane is closed. Please slow down & move over for our crews if you're able.

🌹1️⃣ Step one in romanticizing your life: a walk on our bike & pedestrian bridge across SR 520. No cars, no traffic grind… just landscaped berms cancelling noise and a nostalgic playlist making you feel like the star of a 90s PNW rom-com.

Who else caught yesterday’s walk-worthy weather?! 👀

Just kidding, be safe out there. We're grateful to have you all along for the ride that is 520. 🤎

POV: You’re driving by wondering what we’re building. 👀

Here’s a look at the foundation work for the future Roanoke Lid — yes, the park that’ll sit over this stretch one day. Every glow-up has an awkward stage, right? Trust the process. 🙏

Just an engineer… standing just east of the world’s longest floating bridge… in the rain… asking you to believe in buoyancy...

🎬Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes of something very nationally geographic — coming soon. 👀

Not to start drama, but we kind of ate with this Poison Ivy costume?? Happy Halloween 520 fam 🎃

By the way: Halloween night remains one of the most dangerous nights of the year for pedestrian safety. Keep your eyes peeled and stay alert tonight! Don’t wait on Batman. 🦇
