Under the SR 99 Aurora Avenue Bridge in Seattle, a worker applies the final top coat to portions of the bridge. At this point, the newly painted areas have four layers of primer.

The stripe coat is applied to edges, welds, fasteners and other areas where liquid coatings tend to thin or flow away as they dry. The stripe coat helps build up a sufficient layer of protection against corrosion. During 2016, crews painted portions of the bridge as part of WSDOT's ongoing effort to preserve the structure and extend its lif
