Today's Featured Article[edit] Interstate 182 (I-182) is an east–west auxiliary Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of Washington. It serves as a connector from I-82 to the Tri-Cities region that crosses the Columbia River on the Interstate 182 Bridge between Richland and Pasco. I-182 is 15 miles (24 km) long and entirely concurrent with U.S. Route 12; it intersects State Route 240 and US 395. Business leaders in the Tri-Cities began lobbying for a freeway in 1958 after early alignments for I-82 were routed away from the area. I-182 was a compromise to the routing dispute, which allowed for direct access to the Tri-Cities and a bypass for other traffic. The new freeway would also include construction of a bridge between Richland and Pasco. Construction on I-182 was scheduled to begin in 1971, but was delayed and began in late 1980; it opened to traffic three years later. The final sections of the freeway, between I-82 and Richland, opened to traffic in March 1986. (This article is part of a featured topic: Interstate 82.)

Today's Featured Picture[edit]
Joseph Bazalgette (28 March 1819 – 15 March 1891) was an English civil engineer. As Chief Engineer of London's Metropolitan Board of Works, his major achievement was the creation of a sewerage system for central London, in response to the Great Stink of 1858, which was instrumental in relieving the city of cholera epidemics, while beginning to clean the River Thames. He later designed the second and current Hammersmith Bridge, which opened in 1887. This photograph of Bazalgette was taken between 1864 and 1877.Photograph credit: Lock & Whitfield; restored by Adam Cuerden
