West Seattle, Washington
03 Sunday
5:22 AM: Thanks for the tips. The eastbound West Seattle Bridge is blocked by the aftermath of a crash and drivers are being diverted to 99.
(Framegrab from traffic camera)
5:29 AM: The crash scene is east of 99. Only crash on the SFD log was near the 4th Avenue exit just after 2 am,
5:39 AM: Police have just reopened the eastbound bridge. … According to archived police radio, SFD closed the entire bridge aroun 3:40 am for safety reasons – because “multiple vehicles” passing the scene pre-closure almost hit them.
7:09 AM: An SFD spokesperson just told us “there were no patients” at the scene. So we’re still trying to solve the mystery of why one fire unit was there for two hours.
7:33 AM: SFD spokesperson Kaila Lafferty elaborates, “It was a non-injury collision but the vehicle was not able to move. The crew was at the collision site until SPD was able to respond so they could hand the scene over. The crew ended up blocking lanes for safety due to the high rate of speed drivers kept passing the incident.”
In case you missed the mention in our traffic/weather roundup, the full schedule is out for the second wave of northbound 1st Avenue South Bridge repairs to cracked steel deck plates. Here’s WSDOT‘s announcement, which includes word of shuttles for bicycle riders and pedestrians:
Up to three lanes will close across the northbound SR 99 First Avenue South Bridge starting at 9 p.m. each night beginning as early as Monday, May 4, through Friday morning, May 8, to set up a work zone. All lanes will reopen across the bridge each morning by 5 a.m.
All northbound lanes across the SR 99 First Avenue South Bridge will close for bridge repairs:
-From 10 p.m. Friday, May 8, until 5 a.m. Monday, May 11.
-From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night Monday, May 11, until Friday morning, May 15 and Monday, May 18, until Friday morning, May 22.
-Additional night or weekend closures are possible depending on the pace of bridge repairs. …What people can expect
Signed detours will guide northbound SR 509/SR 99 traffic around the bridge closure. Congestion is likely and people should use northbound Interstate 5 or other alternate routes during construction.The First Avenue South Bridge Trail also will close during these times. Accessible shuttle vans operating from signed locations north and south of the bridge will carry pedestrians and cyclists around the work zone.
Maritime traffic under the First Avenue South Bridge will be restricted during construction. Vessels requiring the bridge to open must provide 24-hour notice and confirm their arrival two hours beforehand. These U.S. Coast Guard restrictions will remain in place through June 30, 2026.
Three-phase bridge repair strategy
WSDOT developed a three-phase repair plan after inspectors identified cracks in the steel grid bridge deck in February 2026.WSDOT crews completed Phase 1 repairs in March 2026 during a five-day closure of the bridge. These initial repairs allowed all northbound lanes to reopen across the bridge at a temporary reduced speed limit.
Phase 2 repairs begin Friday night, May 8, and last roughly 30 days. Contractor crews working for WSDOT will replace nine 28-by-9-foot steel deck panels. Once complete, all northbound lanes across the SR 99 First Avenue South Bridge will reopen at normal speeds.
The emergency contract for Phase 2 repairs was awarded to C.A. Carey of Issaquah. The estimated cost is $1.3 million.
Phase 3 repairs will replace remaining steel grid deck plates on the northbound SR 99 First Avenue South Bridge. This work is in the design phase and is currently scheduled for the 2027 construction season.
8:15 PM: Motorcycle-involved crash reported at Fauntleroy and Raymond, partly blocking southbound.
8:26 PM: Police say the rider was not seriously hurt and the road should reopen shortly.

11 AM: A texter tells us 37th SW and SW 100th in Arbor Heights are blocked by the aftermath of a crash, and while SFD is there tending to a driver, police (who are having a busy morning, judging by radio exchanges) haven’t arrived yet. The texter says it’s reported to be a hit-run, with a driver running a stop sign and hitting another car. We don’t have a description.
11:45 AM: Our photographer got there just as the damaged vehicle was about to be towed so the road could reopen.
7:16 AM: That was the view from the West Seattle Bridge traffic cam a few minutes ago as the first riders in Cascade Bicycle Club’s Emerald City Ride rode across the westbound bridge, which is closed to motorized vehicles for the ride, first one in two years. The riders are continuing on to a West Seattle shoreline route (see it here). The eastbound bridge remains open to regular traffic, and the westbound side is scheduled to reopen by 9 am.
7:32 AM: Riders continue crossing; as the most-recent screenshot shows above, some are pausing at the crest (the outside lane is coned off0, to rest and/or admire the view.
8:01 AM: Westbound riers are still crossing the bridge.
9 AM: The bridge has reopened to regular traffic.
9:43 AM: The return route is via the bike/foot path on the low bridge, seeing a surge of riders right now because that bridge just reopened to surface traffic after a vessel closure.
NOTE: See riders’ photos in comments below!
1:48 AM: Police are at the scene of a crash in the 4000 block of West Marginal Way, reported to have damaged a utility pole and taken down live wires, ending up on railroad tracks. Nobody was in the vehicle – reported to be a Toyota 4Runner – when police arrived, but they’ve just found one of the apparent occupants a few blocks north and are looking for the other one nearby.
7:46 AM: Archived radio communication indicates officers found the suspected driver walking on Puget Ridge around 3 am.
4:57 PM: Moments after we published the preceding item about the Delridge Native Forest Garden, a tree fell on the other side of Delridge Way SW, according to what a police officer just told dispatch. It’s reported to be a ~50-foot tree, blocking the southbound side of Delridge at Webster (by the Southwest Precinct). We’re headed over to see.
5:15 PM: Photo added. Our crew reports it’s only partly blocking the lane, and traffic is getting by, both ways.
6:01 AM: Good morning! Almost the weekend – welcome to Friday, April 24, 2026.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET
Sunny through the weekend, today’s high in the low 60s. Sunrise at 6:03 am; sunset at 8:12 pm.

We’ve been including this reminder in our weekday traffic/weather notes, but for those who don’t check them, we wanted to remind you again that because of the Emerald City Ride, the westbound West Seattle Bridge and southbound Highway 99 will be closed to motor-vehicle traffic for a few hours early Saturday (April 25). The ride starts in the stadium zone downtown, goes onto SB 99, then onto the WB bridge (EB will remain open), and around West Seattle via Alki and beyond, before heading back eastward over the low-bridge path. The full rundown of what neighborhoods along the route should know is in this official notification infosheet.
