If the plans hold true, the West Seattle Bridge will reopen to drivers this upcoming Sunday, Sept. 18.
“This has been a long process — a long process for the people of West Seattle, as well as the Duwamish Valley. A long process for SDOT,” said Heather Marx, director of Downtown Mobility for the Seattle Department of Transportation .
The problems started during a routine inspection when crews discovered large-scale cracks in the West Seattle Bridge’s surface. “The design process of taking an old bridge and retrofitting it to current day standards, so that we can rely on its safety and stability, has been a big challenge for us,” Marx noted.While the bridge looks the same, SDOT insisted it’s far from the structure drivers had used since the 1980s.
