The new bridge will be earthquake-ready, so crews are digging a 10-foot-wide, 125-foot-deep hole to see how concrete supports react during a simulated seismic event.

When enough stress builds, the fault will rupture, releasing a massive amount of energy. The Cascadia Subduction Zone has the potential for these types of earthquakes and has ruptured in the past.
