FOLLOWUP: Salmon Bone Bridge in North Delridge reopens earlier than expected

(Seattle Public Utilities photo)

If you’re looking for somewhere to get outside in the early fall sunshine, Longfellow Creek’s Salmon Bone Bridge is an option again. Seattle Public UtilitiesBrad Wong just sent word – with the photo above – that the bridge has reopened. That’s a month earlier than the potential late October reopening mentioned when the foot bridge was closed this summer for more renovation work. The bridge is over the creek between 26th and 28th SW, north of SW Nevada [map].

      We sandblasted it and then painted a 4-coat marine grade painting system so it will last for many years to come! It was dirty but the original paint was chipping off.
