UPDATE: Eastbound entrance to West Seattle Bridge gets another barrier reset

10:04 PM: SDOT and SPD are closing the eastbound entrance to the West Seattle Bridge from Fauntleroy for another barrier reset. A crash on the westbound side was reported around 7:30; we don’t know exactly where – we even drove onto the bridge to look but didn’t see it. Nonetheless, barriers were pushed out of place somewhere, and this closure will last until they’re fixed.

10:24 PM: Eastbound traffic is entering the bridge again.

    Could it possibly be true that a car made it past Darwin’s Curve then hit the barrier 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    We were crossing eastbound when we passed a motorcycle crash on the westbound side, about 4:45 PM yesterday (Feb. 7).

    Maybe even something as simple as a posted curve speed, flashing would be better? How many accidents do there have to be before SDOT does more than “barrier resets”?

Sorry, comment time is over.
