[edit] What parts were built when?

What parts were built when? The article does not say a thing about it. - Jmabel | Talk 05:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

If you're personally curious, you can get rough dates from [1]. --NE2 16:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

That's only going to cover bridges. But, in particular, I believe SR-520 now extends farther east than it did originally.

I am moderately curious, but was really more encouraging whoever is working on this article to explore more of that history, which will probably turn out to be the most interesting thing about the topic. - Jmabel | Talk 05:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree; history is very often the most interesting topic. You say that that site only covers bridges; however, since this is a freeway, every intersection includes a bridge. You can enter the state as Washington, the route as 520, and sort by bridge date to get a general history; the only anomalies will be when bridges were replaced. --NE2 13:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
