West Seattle traffic alert: Fauntleroy bridge entrance reopens after half-hour closure

3:46 PM: Police have closed the entrance to the eastbound bridge at Fauntleroy; crews are responding to an aid call further east of that point. We don’t know how long it’ll last, so for now, if you’re about to head east, use the Delridge entrance, which appears to be open (not sure about Admiral but we’re checking). Thank you to the person who texted first word of the shutdown! 206-293-6302 any time, day or night (but only when you can text or call safely and legally).

4:03 PM: Thanks to LT for confirming the Admiral entrance remains open as well as Delridge – so use either of those until Fauntleroy reopens (the image above is SDOT’s “live” camera).

4:09 PM: It’s open again.

    Admiral and Delridge are open. Looked like one car and some police/firetruck/paramedic were on the scene.

      Thanks, was just updating all our channels.

    Any idea what caused the closure?

    • WSB August 4, 2013 (4:26 pm)

      It was dispatched as an aid call and that’s all we know. Nobody to ask on weekends, no discussion of details on the scanner, no way to get to a scene on a blocked-off bridge …

    We were driving by at the time. It looked like a passenger in car was having some type of medical emergency.

    I saw a female passenger climb out of the vehicle while it was traveling at 30ish mph. The driver then crashed into the center wall and ran to her aid.

Sorry, comment time is over.
