Route Description
Heading northbound on State Route 99, the viaduct begins about a mile north of the First Avenue South Bridge, passing over the west end of the Industrial District. Just south of Safeco Field, at Massachusetts Street, the bridge shifts from a side-by-side alignment to the double-deck alignment commonly associated with the Alaskan Way Viaduct, with northbound traffic on the upper deck and southbound traffic on the lower deck. Then, at approximately Pike Street, the bridge reverts to a side-by-side alignment for about ½ mile until the viaduct's north end at the entrance to the Battery Street Tunnel.

“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
