 * GA review (see here for criteria)

No disamb. links. External links check out.
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Change "the University of Washington at Tacoma campus" to "the University of Washington Tacoma campus"
 * --Admrboltz (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps change "The Bridge of Glass passes over I-705 as it continues north" to "The Bridge of Glass, which, links the Museum of Glass on the shorefront to downtown Tacoma, passes over I-705 as it continues north"
 * --Admrboltz (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Traffic coming from Bates Technical College and South 13th Street join in" - avoid ending with a preposition
 * --Admrboltz (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * To what extent was the construction of I-705 delayed by the environmental litigation in WSDOT v. EPA http://ftp.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/917/917.F2d.1309.89-1445.html?
 * It doesn't appear that it was, they admitted that it was part of a bigger EPA cleanup area, but it didn't seem to stop them, since they still had their EIS. --Admrboltz (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Are there any future plans for construction or seismic upgrades?
 * None that I could find. The thing is a glorified exit ramp, and should be refitted, but nothing so far. --Admrboltz (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * (moving and sectioning off below)
 * Thank you for the average traffic. Do you have any sense of traffic on days when there are events at the Tacoma Dome?
 * If I did, I would have put it in. --Admrboltz (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.

 * In terms of a complete history, this page has a photo of the construction of a new I-5 collector lane with the caption "When complete, the I-5 South 48th Street to Pacific Avenue project will provide a new multi-lane, northbound collector/distributor road which will include a new northbound exit to I-705, and an improved merge from SR 16." It is dated September 30, 2006.
 * That project was on I-5 between 48th and Pacific, and just resulted in a slightly different ramp than before feeding into 705, it has nothing to do with 705 its self. --Admrboltz (talk) 05:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/PierceCountyHOV/stagelist.htm says the bridge of I-705/SR 7 is being replaced to allow for additional HOV lanes on i-5 is "currently in design."
 * once again, a project related to I-5, not 705. From what I can tell it means the bridge that carries I-5 over 705/7. --Admrboltz (talk) 05:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This page says that they would shut down the I-705 for a weekend to demolish the old bridge. (dated March 29, 2002)
 * Could, but there was nothing in any secondary sources. --Admrboltz (talk) 05:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
