TRAFFIC & TRANSIT: Thursday notes, 18th week of West Seattle Bridge closure

6:07 AM: It’s Thursday; four months ago today, the city closed the West Seattle Bridge.

SPEAKING OF CLOSURES

Tonight ends the first week of overnight closures for the northbound 1st Ave. S. Bridge, as deck work continues. 10 pm-5 am. After tonight, the next scheduled closure is Sunday night.

ROAD WORK

Major work continues on Delridge Way, with lane reductions and side-street closures, as road-rebuilding and utility work continue for the RapidRide H Line conversion project – here’s what crews are working on this week.

TRAFFIC

    Please keep the daily count for the bridge closure! It is the best reminder of the stark reality for peninsula residents. Thx Tracy!

      Only skipped it today for the 4-month mark.

    So is it safe to assume that the bridge will not even be considered for a repair or replacement until the carbon fiber reinforcement is installed?

    Why the restrictions on the 4th Ave. railroad overpass south of Costco?  Is there a plan to repair?

Sorry, comment time is over.
