Heading over to West Seattle from bainbridge Island Saturday, Will I be able to access the bridge via viaduct or will I have to go on I-5 and take the west seattle bridge exit?

Hi, Rob – if you’re coming BEFORE 5 pm, you will not be able to use the Viaduct. But you don’t have to go to I-5, either. There’s now a West Seattle Bridge entrance from 1st Avenue South again – just get to 1st S. and head south – the on/offramp is entered directly from 1st, southbound left lane. – TR

Semi car combo accident on ramp from west sea bridge to I5 north

Rob March 1, 2013 (1:35 pm)

Decided just to take the southworth ferry over not going to deal with the bridge.

I drove past that bus around 8:30. NO reason at all for Delridge to be backed up like that. Rubber neckers making people late for work…Seriously, changing lanes ain’t that hard….

Sorry, comment time is over.
