UPDATE: Rescue response for crash on westbound West Seattle Bridge

10:49 AM: Seattle Fire is sending a “rescue extrication” response to the westbound West Seattle Bridge, near the Fauntleroy end, where a driver is reported to have hit a pole and might be trapped in their vehicle, reported to be a (updated) 1999 Toyota 4Runner. Updates to come.

10:53 AM: First arriving firefighters confirm the driver is trapped and will have to be cut out of the vehicle.

10:58 AM: Responders say the westbound bridge is closed at the scene, so if you’re heading westbound, you’ll likely be routed off sooner.

11:03 AM: Firefighters report they have extricated the driver, who’s reported to be “alert and conscious” and will be taken to a hospital. Adding reader photo above, showing the vicinity of where the emergency vehicles are – same area that has been the scene of multiple crashes.

11:21 AM: Police just told dispatch both lanes have reopened at the crash site. The driver was taken to Harborview Medical Center.

12:41 PM: Added another reader photo above (sent by Andrew), just before the wrecked vehicle was removed. SFD, meantime, tells us the driver is a woman in her early 80s, in serious condition when transported.

UPDATE: Crash on westbound West Seattle Bridge

5:30 PM: Big response for a crash on the westbound bridge near the 1st Ave exit. SFD is extricating one injured person from one of the vehicles. If you’re headed southbound from downtown, staying on I-5 and using the exit that’ll get you to the 1st Ave So. Bridge is a better choice.

5:41 PM: SFD says the injured person is in stable condition and will be taken to a hospital.

6:30 PM: SDOT’s traffic center says the scene has cleared.

ROAD WORK ALERT: Next week’s North Delridge project

(SDOT camera, looking north over Delridge Way north of Genesee)

If you’ve noticed the signage on Delridge Way near Genesee and wondered about the impending “traffic revision,” today we obtained the official SDOT notice for long-in-the-works northbound repaving:

What: Street Repaving
Where: Delridge Way SW between SW Genesee St & SW Dakota St
When: Monday, March 31 – Monday, April 7. 7 AM – 6 PM each day.
*Weather permitting

At the location and hours listed above:
ď‚· SDOT will replace several concrete panels in the northbound lanes of Delridge Way SW between SW Genesee St & SW Dakota St.
ď‚· Parking will be restricted:
o 72 hours before work starts and parking restrictions begin, “NO PARKING” signs will be placed on the street.

ď‚· SDOT crews will facilitate and maintain driveway access to the homes fronting the northbound lane between SW Genesee St & SW Dakota St to the extent possible.
ď‚· Sidewalk access will not be impacted.
ď‚· Contact King County Metro for bus-stop impacts.

o Lane shifts will be in effect 24 hours a day for the duration of the project.
ď‚· Northbound traffic will be shifted to the southbound travel lane.
ď‚· One northbound lane and one southbound lane will be maintained on the west side of the median.
ď‚· Northbound traffic will be restricted from turning left onto SW Genesee 24 hours a day for the duration of the project.

P.S. Reader Jay pointed out that someone reprogrammed one of the illuminated signboards earlier today. We asked SDOT if security’s been tightened and haven’t yet gotten an answer to that.

Thanks for the tips and photos. A Waste Management truck is on its side at Marine View Drive and 46th (where a “ghost bike” still serves as a reminder of a deadly crash). Apparently no injuries in this, as SFD was not sent so it doesn’t appear on the online log.
