• WSDOT News: New over height detection system installed on SR 410 White River Bridge near Enumclaw (govdelivery.com) — Drivers in Enumclaw and Buckley now have an extra safeguard on the SR 410 White River Bridge, where a new over‑height vehicle detection system is working to prevent another closure‑causing bridge strike. Sensors, flashing beacons, and alarms warn tall vehicles before they reach the bridge, after last year's damaging collision disrupted thousands of daily trips for local commuters, freight, and businesses.
