8:14 PM: Thanks for the tip. Another crash of note: 16th SW and SW Kenyon. No injuries but 911 dispatch said a “crosswalk pole” was hit, so the aftermath might be visible for a while. For now, the crash is blocking 16th SW southbound.

8:24 PM: SPD is calling for two tow trucks.

9 PM: Police just told dispatch that 16th is fully open again.

(Reader photo)

2:28 PM: Just as the rain returns – a bit icy this time – there’s been another crash toward the west end of the West Seattle Bridge: This time involving a motorcycle officer from the SPD Traffic Unit. He has told dispatch he’s not hurt but SFD is being sent to check him out; other officers are arriving at the scene.

2:31 PM: Reader photo added.

2:39 PM: Same reader (thank you!) just texted this one showing the location more widely:

Officers have just told dispatch that all westbound lanes are blocked, though they’re “working to move everything to the right shoulder” in hopes that won’t last long.

2:50 PM: Tow truck hasn’t arrived yet but police say the westbound lanes are open again.

12:30 PM: One lane is reported blocked by a crash toward the west end of the westbound West Seattle Bridge. It’s described as involving one car, whose driver hit the barrier(s), which are reported to now be in need of repositioning. (We do NOT know where this is in relation to the repeat trouble spot by the Dancing on Logs (etc.) pullout, as the traffic camera there has been broken for years, and the dispatch/crew communication has mentioned both Fauntleroy and Admiral as location points.) No injuries are reported so SFD is canceling, but police and SDOT are responding.

12:34 PM: The scene is apparently near that spot as police have just asked for SDOT’s incident crews to block the left lane “before the blind corner” and have said they’re “just east of Fauntleroy” (though not visible on the 35th/Fauntleroy camera).

12:38 PM: The displaced barriers are affecting the eastbound side too, according to radio communication, so SDOT will be on that side as well until fixed. Meantime, a commenter below confirms the location. (And the radio check of the vehicle’s license also confirms what the commenter’s photo partly shows, that it’s a pickup truck.)

12:56 PM: Just received that photo showing, from the eastbound side, the crash’s location. And here’s the SDOT crew blocking the left lane at the eastbound Fauntleroy/35th entrance while they work on the barriers – which may close the entire eastbound entrance shortly, per radio communication:

2 PM: Had to leave the keyboard for a while; the scene has since cleared, both directions.

6:01 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Wednesday, April 15, 2026. Seattle Public Schools spring break continues.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET

Showers, possibly thundershowers, high around 50. Sunrise at 6:20 am; sunset at 7:59 pm.

12:26 PM: “It’s going to be here for a while.” That’s one police officer’s assessment of that truck/trailer, wrapped around the barrier where the eastbound West Seattle Bridge, NB 99 offramp, and 1st Avenue S. onramp meet. It’s slowing but not blocking traffic at the moment, as they strategize what kind of tow crew it’s going to take to clear it. The trailer is empty, police told dispatch; no SFD dispatch so far, so apparently no serious injuries.

12:35 PM: The scene has widened a bit and traffic is moving more slowly past the scene, which police are warning “is going to e a long-term closure.”

1:29 PM: Not cleared yet and the response has expanded, so traffic past the scene is more sluggish, as the updated traffic-cam screenshot (from a few minutes ago) shows.

1:49 PM: All eastbound traffic is now being stopped, police just told dispatch.

2:01 PM: Traffic’s moving again, though the scene has not yet cleared.

2:11 PM: And now it has, with “traffic flowing as normal,” officers radioed.

7:52 AM: Crash on east section of Eb West Seattle Bridge.

6:55 AM: The northbound 1st Avenue South Bridge is stuck in the “open” position. That’s backing up traffic on routes leading to it.

7:23 AM: WSDOT says crews are troubleshooting but no estimate for fix.

7:58 AM: Still closed (stuck open) but WSP says troopers are working to clear the backup.

8:46 AM: Still stuck due to what WSDOT describes only as an “unknown mechanical issue.” WSP still working to get drivers off the approaches. Other routes are backed up too – one texter says Delridge “is backed up as far as the eye can see.”

9:17 AM: No fix yet. We’re continuing to monitor and will update this story through the morning, launching a new separate one if it’s not resolved by noontime.

9:53 AM: WSDOT says the bridge is running normally again. We’ll follow up on what the problem turned out to be.

4:33 PM: Thanks to Janelle for this report verifying a dispatch we heard on police radio a bit ago:

FYI there’s a bus stuck in the left lane of the WSB up to West Seattle where there are only two lanes. As of 4:20 they said they are trying to get another bus here to take passengers off. But that means this bus is likely going to be stuck here causing traffic for a long time.

10:19 PM: Thanks to the texter who sent that pic of the resulting backup.
