Thumbs up to the state Department of Transportation

The state Department of Transportation recently fired its chief bridge engineer and another employee responsible for a flawed bid process on the Highway 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington.

Yes, it feels a bit like DOT found a scapegoat. No doubt pressure from the Legislature and former Gov. Chris Gregoire's office to complete the job by 2014 contributed to the fiasco and share some responsibility.

Jugesh Kapur, head of the DOT's Bridge and Structures office, was responsible for maintaining around 3,000 crossings. The decision to speed up Highway 520 by adding design work to the division's already heavy workload instead of hiring outside experts proved disastrous.
