Our team is actively working to restore access for maritime traffic as soon as possible.” We asked what’s wrong this time. “The ongoing challenge is related to the tail lock, which is not receiving electricity from the pump motor. Our team is diligently diagnosing and assessing the tail lock and motor to address the issue promptly.”

11:36 PM: Police are blocking all lanes of the eastbound West Seattle Bridge except the exit lane to northbound 99, because of what so far appears to be a one-vehicle crash, with the driver apparently having walked away from the scene – possibly westbound in the eastbound lanes.
12:07 AM: Officers just told dispatch that all lanes on the bridge have reopened. The mystery of the driver hasn’t been solved yet; officers went to the South Seattle residence of the vehicle’s registered owner but reported back that no one answered the door. (Added: The vehicle is a Hyundai Sonata.)
