(Screengrab from SDOT camera)

3:21 PM: SDOT has just sent an alert that the low bridge is closed to surface traffic right now because of “technical issues.”

3:45 PM: Live SDOT camera shows the gates have gone up and the low bridge is open again.

4:08 PM: Open to street/path traffic, but not to marine traffic, SDOT’s Mariam Ali tells us: “While the bridge is currently open for vehicular traffic, it remains closed to maritime traffic. Our team is actively working to restore access for maritime traffic as soon as possible.” We asked what’s wrong this time. “The ongoing challenge is related to the tail lock, which is not receiving electricity from the pump motor. Our team is diligently diagnosing and assessing the tail lock and motor to address the issue promptly.”
