Interstate 90 bridge sinks The Interstate 90 bridge between Seattle and Mercer Island sank during a reconstruction project in 1990. Holes had been cut in the pontoons and left open. Contractors also used the pontoons to store wastewater they weren't allowed to dump in Lake Washington, and cracks may have let more water seep in. When the bridge settled low enough, water poured through the holes and down she went.
