K.A.,

Glad to see someone photographed these tee-beam bridges on WA-6. I drove that highway in 2008, with the focus of photographing the S. Fk. Chehalis River arch bridge before it was removed.

I regretted not shooting everything on the route, but am glad to see you were able to include these structures here.

Good work again,

MG
