   Perhaps change "The Bridge of Glass passes over I-705 as it continues north" to "The Bridge of Glass, which , links the Museum of Glass on the shorefront to downtown Tacoma, passes over I-705 as it continues north"

   "Traffic coming from Bates Technical College and South 13th Street join in" - avoid ending with a preposition

2. It isfactually accurate andverifiable.

   a(references): b(citations toreliable sources): c(OR):

3. It isbroad in its coverage.

   a(major aspects): b(focused):

   To what extent was the construction of I-705 delayed by the environmental litigation in WSDOT v. EPAhttp://ftp.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/917/917.F2d.1309.89-1445.html?

   It doesn't appear that it was, they admitted that it was part of a bigger EPA cleanup area, but it didn't seem to stop them, since they still had their EIS. --Admrboltz (talk)23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   Are there any future plans for construction or seismic upgrades?

   None that I could find. The thing is a glorified exit ramp, and should be refitted, but nothing so far. --Admrboltz (talk)23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   (moving and sectioning off below)

   Thank you for the average traffic. Do you have any sense of traffic on days when there are events at the Tacoma Dome?

   If I did, I would have put it in. --Admrboltz (talk)23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

   I am placing the article on hold.Racepacket (talk)23:42, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• In terms of a complete history,this page has a photo of the construction of a new I-5 collector lane with the caption "When complete, the I-5 South 48th Street to Pacific Avenue project will provide a new multi-lane, northbound collector/distributor road which will include a new northbound exit to I-705, and an improved merge from SR 16." It is dated September 30, 2006.
  • That project was on I-5 between 48th and Pacific, and just resulted in a slightly different ramp than before feeding into 705, it has nothing to do with 705 its self. --Admrboltz (talk)05:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/PierceCountyHOV/stagelist.htm says the bridge of I-705/SR 7 is being replaced to allow for additional HOV lanes on i-5 is "currently in design."
  • once again, a project related to I-5, not 705. From what I can tell it means the bridge that carries I-5 over 705/7. --Admrboltz (talk)05:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• This page says that they would shut down the I-705 for a weekend to demolish the old bridge. (dated March 29, 2002)
  • Could, but there was nothing in any secondary sources. --Admrboltz (talk)05:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
