6:00 AM: This is the sixth day that the West Seattle low bridge is closed to drivers (but open to people riding bicycles or walking/running/rolling) because of crash damage:

Here’s the newest info on the repairs. If the low bridge doesn’t reopen by the weekend, that’ll affect one of our area’s ongoing road projects:

SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT, AND OTHER ROAD WORK OF NOTE

*The Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project has a weekend closure plan – as reported here – but that plan may change if the low bridge remains closed to drivers. We’ll update when SDOT decides. (5:03 pm update: The low bridge reopened this afternoon; here’s the SSV plan for this weekend.)

Other projects:

*For the Admiral Way Bridge seismic project, the north half of the bridge remains closed, with one lane each way on the south side; Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge. We’re awaiting a project-status update

*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.
