Avoid any onramp to the eastbound West Seattle Bridge – there is a crash near 4th Ave but it appears the bridge has been blocked off all the way on this end. We are in the middle of a big backup on northbound Avalon and are getting reports it’s blocked off at 35th and Fauntleroy. Admiral is reported to be backing up southeastbound too. 1:17 PM UPDATE: We are now seeing cars get on from 35th and Fauntleroy, so it appears the high bridge is open again.
Just there. You can access northbound 99 if you can go under the WS bridge toward the 1st ave bridge and Colombian way. Head up the ramp marked i5 and 99 and hope right on.
We just came back from downtown via the West Seattle bridge. Saw the aftermath of the eastbound crash, but couldn’t really tell why they are diverting traffic off the bridge. In any case, the intersection of 35th & Fauntleroy is pretty slow going, so it’s good to avoid that if you can.
looking out at upper bridge from top of Admiral, looks fine, all lanes moving both ways, don’t see any backup
Hubby just called and said to avoid it all together and (if you are in the south end of West Seattle) to go down Boeing hill (Highland Park Wy), hop onto 99 northbound, then take the Michigan exit toward I5. Here goes nothin…hope I make it to my appointment on time!
Sorry, comment time is over.
