(Screengrab from 8:09 pm)

8:11 PM: This was supposed to be fairly quick but for some reason it’s taking crews a while to reposition a barrier near the Fauntleroy end of the eastbound West Seattle Bridge, and dozens of drivers are stuck waiting. If you have to head eastbound, get on the bridge another way.

8:15 PM: The dispatcher just told SPD that SDOT needs “traffic control” for another barrier fix closer to the bridge entrance at 35th; an officer replied, “Just as soon as this one gets figured out.” So avoid 35th/Fauntleroy entirely for a while.

8:19 PM: The live camera just east of 35th shows SDOT now blocking the inside eastbound lane but the others have reopened.

8:30 PM: Now they’re blocking all eastbound lanes again just past the Fauntleroy entrance, per police radio.

9:27 PM: Still blocked, per live view on traffic cameras.

10:34 PM: We’ve been checking the live feed every few minutes; it’s just reopened.

5:55 PM: If you’re headed this way from points north, avoid southbound Highway 99 – a crash is blocking the ramp to the westbound West Seattle Bridge. No other details yet.

6:29 PM: Officers have just told dispatch that the ramp has reopened.

6:03 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Friday, January 30, 2026.

10:51 AM: Police are reported to be blocking northbound traffic on Fauntleroy at Raymond after what was reported as a driver hitting a pedestrian. The pedestrian is reported to be a woman who is “alert and conscious” but with “bruises to the head,” and the driver is being questioned. No other details yet; avoid the area.

11:51 AM: Scene was clear when we went through around 11:30. Followup info to come.
