In 2015, at a cost of $ 150 million, every piece of steel that made up the suspended spans, except the towers and two main cables, was replaced. After the Lion's Gate Bridge, this was the second time that a large suspension bridge had its suspended spans completely replaced while continuing to allow regular traffic flow during weekdays. Principal engineering work for the project was done by the same firm that managed the work on the Lions Gate Bridge.
