3:40 PM: We’ve received multiple texts that the “low bridge” is stuck in “open” mode. We haven’t received confirmation from SDOT yet, but webcams show no vehicle traffic crossing it, and the vehicle-blocking gates are down. So if you were headed that way, you might try an alternate route until we verify it’s working again.
3:53 PM: Webcams and scanner both verify the bridge is operating properly again.
Many many bike riders got stuck, as well as cars and trucks. Bike riders, peds have few options.
I was one of the many stuck bike riders, and it was very frustrating the lack of communication and why when the bridge was back in place they did not lets bikes ped go.
Many bike riders hopped the railing, the Bridge Tender should communicate with people in situations like this.
Communication? In a city? Asking for too much. I agree with you Mark. Sorry this happened to you and the riders.
I was stopped at the bridge at 2:30 in a car. I finally gave up after 20 minutes.
My uber Black pickup brilliantly decided to use this route and no-showed…
Sorry, comment time is over.
