TRAFFIC ALERT: Utility work on westbound West Seattle Bridge by ‘the curve’

| Safety | Utilities | West Seattle news | West Seattle traffic alerts

Thanks to the texter who sent that dashcam video along with an alert about the lane closure it shows, at “the curve” that’s been the location of more than a few crashes, toward the southwest end of the westbound West Seattle Bridge. We’re not finding an official traffic alert about it, but given the presence of at least one Seattle City Light truck, it could be work related to the crash the other night that brought down a pole at the pullout (we’ll check with SCL in the morning). In the meantime, if you’ll be headed that way, or know someone who will, caution is advised.

Did you notice they have installed two curve signs and relocated the 30mph “slippery when wet” warning sign

Can they just lower the speed limit there officially?

Appeared to have been another crash there yesterday (Sunday) when I went out about 1:30ish. Three banged up cars in the pullout.

At 1 pm there was an SPD dispatch for a wheel in the roadway but I went through police radio and logs and no indication of a crash so I’m not sure what that was all about.
