The Alaskan Way Viaduct is a viaduct bridge in the city of Seattle, Washington, that carries Washington State Route 99 over the Elliott Bay waterfront between the city's Industrial District and Belltown. Originally opened in 1953, the structure was damaged in the 2001 Nisqually earthquake and has been proposed to be replaced by an underground tunnel. Since 2001, the proposed replacement has been the source of much political consternation. Options for the structure – which carries 110,000 vehicles per day – have included replacing the viaduct with either a cut-and-cover or deep-bore tunnel, another elevated highway, or a surface highway; retrofitting the existing structure to improve its capability to withstand earthquakes; or outright eliminating the viaduct and making traffic-flow improvements to other north-south arterials to compensate.
