UPDATE: West Seattle Bridge lanes reopen after gravel spill

11:02 AM: As the screengrab from the West Seattle Bridge traffic camera shows, lanes are currently blocked on both sides of the West Seattle Bridge while crews clear away “debris” – apparently gravel – spilled on both sides, near 99. This isn’t the only trouble on that stretch of the bridge, which also saw a crash earlier, as noted in our morning traffic roundup.

11:10 AM: According to police radio, the gravel is from a truck that hit the barrier.

11:47 AM: Just checked the live camera; the cleanup continues.

12:09 PM: The cleanup has wrapped up and all lanes are open again.

    Great, another way Seattle has found to kill Motorcyclists. Commercial Trucks should not even be allowed on the upperdeck for THIS VERY REASON

      So you are blaming Seattle for an accident by a truck, that you don’t know was commercial or not. Wow,  ok. Maybe as a Motorcyclist you might slow down,  doubt it, and pay attention to the road.

    It looked like landscaping/nursing load that got dumped, trees and soil, etc.

Sorry, comment time is over.
