LOW-BRIDGE CLOSURE, DAY 9: If all goes as planned, this is the final day that the West Seattle low bridge will be closed to road/path traffic for communication-and-control system upgrades and will reopen no later than early the morning of April 29. More closure details from SDOT here (including how to get free rides on the Water Taxi or Metro buses).
