UPDATE: West Seattle low bridge’s 2-hour closure for ‘mechanical issues’

7:03 PM: Avoid the West Seattle low bridge – SDOT has just announced it’s out of service right now because of “mechanical issues.”

7:26 PM: It was one month ago today, the same time of the evening, that the bridge was out of service for about two hours because of “malfunctions.”

8:36 PM: Not fixed yet, and no updates.

9:04 PM: SDOT says it’s “operational” again. However, the live camera still shows red lights and gates down (could be a maritime opening).

9:22 PM: Now the camera shows green lights. We’ll ask SDOT tomorrow what went wrong this time.

    Appears to be happening again. Sitting at a red with a closed bridge

      Thanks. Just saw this, and indeed, SDOT says the bridge is malfunctioning again. Bikes and pedestrians can use the path this time, though.
