Traffic alert: West Seattle Bridge striping happening today

SDOT told us Monday they hoped to do this before the week was out, and indeed, here’s the alert:

SDOT crews are replacing missing lane striping on the West Seattle Bridge today while the favorable weather lasts. Dry pavement is required for this work. The crews will work between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The crews are replacing only lane lines that were severely distressed following the recent spell of snow, and are giving priority to streets and bridges with the highest volume of traffic.

Drivers are asked to leave plenty of space between them and the work vehicles, and to obey the signs: don’t drive over wet paint.

And the striping on 35th SW will be handled soon too, according to SDOT’s Marybeth Turner, who says that was atop the city’s list along with Aurora (restriped yesterday) and the WS Bridge.

    They were replacing burned out lights on the bridge (westbound) when my bus went by this morning. Yay – lane lines and light!

Sorry, comment time is over.
