Nearly 2,000 Fish Found Dead In Lake Washington As Sound Transit Bridge Electrical System Suspected In Die-Off🐟⚡
A major fish die-off in Lake Washington is being linked to the electrical system on Sound Transit’s new I-90 floating bridge. Officials estimate about 2,000 fish have died near the bridge, with many found around underwater anode cables used to control electrical current and protect the bridge from corrosion.
The Washington State Department of Transportation first reported the dead fish on August 3, and Sound Transit began investigating with divers, biologists and engineers. The agency says an interim fix was completed August 23 by lifting certain anode strings from the lakebed, but the exact cause remains under investigation. Officials say the bridge remains safe for the traveling public.
