In reply to Taylor. You can set your trip time for a future date. I tried searching for a trip downtown on 9/19 and even 10/10, and it still directed me to use the bridge closure reroute. Looks like Google Maps is still in the "believe it when we see it" camp.

In reply to Perry. It’s quite possible it was showing you the route over the low bridge based on the time of your posting (1:43am) which it will do during the all-access hours.

Google maps is allowing mapping using the upper bridge! Very helpful.

In reply to Brains!. I'm pretty sure the grow operation is in the metal-sided building between SW Marginal Pl and W Marginal Way SW.

In reply to P.U.. That’s a marijuana growing operation causing the skunky odor. I’m not sure exactly which warehouse it is, but there’s no mistaking the smell of a growhouse.

In reply to Curious. I am going to miss all the traffic that drives 24/7 past my previously quiet house for the last 2 years and will be sad when I think of it going back to driving past your house, Curious. ...NOT!!!!

With the platform down and related work complete, does this mean the god-awful stinky smell under the bridge on WMW is gone too?? Or is that the smell of decaying souls of the intentional line cutters?

I find it important to note the many folks working their tails off to get this bridge fixed. It’s so deceiving to see very little from the streets, or hwy 99, or the pedestrian Bridge or the houses with views of the project. Being so elevated, it’s a quite different perspective than I90 or Sound transit on I5. Kinda invisible.There are many people in the field and office working very hard. They are very aware how important this project is to the largest residential area by acreage in Seattle. They know the opening date. Some read this blog. I am really proud of these people that so impact my family’s life. It’s not easy.

In reply to Curious. Quiet is nice, but it sure reeks havoc on local businesses trying to stay afloat and turn a profit.

In reply to MBF. Because of today's work? No traffic effects.

In reply to Kalo. As noted previously: SDOT is not allowing pre-reopening events on the bridge.

Any idea if they’re going to allow folks to walk the bridge before reopening?
