TRAFFIC ALERT: Another crash involving a school bus

For the second time this afternoon, a crash is under investigation involving a car and school bus. This time it’s at (updated) 4th/Roxbury and we’re told traffic is “a mess” as a result. This one’s being investigated by King County Sheriff’s Deputies so we don’t have as much info as we would if it were in the city limits, but Metro has issued a bus reroute alert.

3:35 PM: A collision reported to involve a car and school bus is blocking the intersection at 28th/Holden. No word yet about injuries, if any.

3:42 PM: The one SFD unit sent to the scene has already cleared, which means no serious injuries, if any (we’ll be following up). They’re also getting some traffic through – Metro buses, at least – after telling dispatch the bus was able to move to the side of the street.

5:33 PM: SFD says no injuries were reported.

TRAFFIC ALERT FOLLOWUP: West Seattle low bridge reopens after repairs

January 25, 2025 8:52 pm
|    Comments Off on TRAFFIC ALERT FOLLOWUP: West Seattle low bridge reopens after repairs
 |   West Seattle news | West Seattle traffic alerts

SDOT just sent word that “the Spokane St Swing Bridge [low bridge] repairs are complete and it is reopened to all travelers.” It was closed late yesterday – after two closures earlier in the day – so workers could fix a broken motor.

TRAFFIC ALERT UPDATE: West Seattle low bridge closed again

4:36 PM: Thanks to Scott for the tip and photo. The low bridge is closed again for repairs. SDOT expects two phases – closed to all surface traffic including bike/foot traffic until about 6 pm, open to bike/foot traffic after that but closed to motor vehicles, no ETA for full reopening.

ADDED 5:38 PM: More info from SDOT:

The Spokane Street Swing Bridge is closed to motor vehicle traffic as technicians work to replace a broken motor in the bridge locking mechanism. We will do our best to keep the bicycle and pedestrian path open whenever possible, although it may sometimes be necessary to close the path for short periods of time for public safety while repairs are being done.

SDOT technicians are currently working hard to reopen the bridge to vehicular traffic as quickly as possible. Repairs are expected to be completed over the weekend. The exact time when the bridge will reopen is not yet known.

The broken motor is on the western side of the bridge and drives one of the pins in the bridge locking mechanism. This motor broke on the afternoon of January 23, resulting in the bridge being closed for several hours until technicians developed a temporary solution. Technicians are now working to remove the massive motor and install a replacement part as well as assess for other damaged that may have occurred when the motor broke. This issue is unrelated to previously identified maintenance needs on the Spokane St Bridge.

6:21 PM: Looking at the live camera, it does NOT appear the bicycle/pedestrian/etc. path has reopened yet.

11:59 PM: Still hasn’t. Maybe in the morning, says SDOT’s latest update:

Crews made good progress on Spokane Street Swing Bridge repairs this evening. We have successfully removed the broken motor and are in the process of installing the replacement parts.

The bridge will be left open for ships overnight (closed to all land travel) because there are ships scheduled to pass through this evening. We hope to reopen the bike and pedestrian path tomorrow morning (Saturday, Jan 25) and will do our best to maintain bike access for most of the day if possible. We will not be able to reopen the bridge to motor vehicles until the repairs are complete.

UPDATE: Crash on southbound 35th south of Avalon

2:55 PM: Thanks for the tip and photo! Police and fire are on scene of a crash on southbound 35th SW south of Avalon. Avoid the area for a while.

3:15 PM: Our tipster reports the vehicles have been pulled to the side and southbound traffic is moving again. We’ll be checking with SFD regarding injuries.

6:24 PM: SFD tells WSB that no injuries were reported.

UPDATE: West Seattle low bridge reopens after today’s second repair closure

(Screengrab from SDOT camera)

2:24 PM: The West Seattle low bridge is out of service again – second time today. We mentioned the first round of trouble early this morning in our daily traffic roundup; it was back in service just after 7 am. Now it’s malfunctioning again, so if you were headed that way, use another route. (We know that’s easier said than done for bicycle/foot path users.)

2:45 PM: A commenter notes that bicycle riders are getting through, and we just saw that happen via the live feed, but we’re also checking with SDOT to verify.

3 PM: SDOT spokesperson Ethan Bergerson verifies that riders/walkers/runners/etc. CAN use the path. The motor-vehicle lanes remain closed.

5:17 PM: No change – vehicle lanes still closed. In response to our question about what’s wrong, SDOT sent this:

(The closure is) due to a broken motor affecting the bridge locking mechanism. The bicycle and pedestrian path is currently open. SDOT technicians are on site working to fix the issue as quickly as possible, and do not yet have an estimated timeline for reopening.

(SDOT photo)

This issue is unrelated to previously identified maintenance needs on the Spokane St Bridge. We are continuing to make progress with our ongoing series of investments to maintain and modernize the bridge structure and components:

-Bridge strengthening (complete)
-Earthquake safety upgrades (complete)
-Control and communications system upgrades (complete)
-Cylinder, hydraulic, and electrical component upgrades (ongoing)

6:50 PM: Fully open again, SDOT says.

TRAFFIC CAMS, WEATHER, TRANSIT: Thursday begins

9:35 AM: Crash at 10th/Roxbury. No SFD response so far so apparently no injuries.

7:10 AM: SDOT says the low bridge is open again.

6:15 AM: Thanks for the tips. The low bridge is out of service right now due to “technical issues.”
