At the end of last week, the Seattle Department of Transportation announced that it had completed the initial set of West Seattle High-Rise Bridge emergency stabilization measures.
The completion of this work is “setting the stage for the next phase of repairs” to take place later in 2021. The emergency stabilization work over the past eight months was necessary in order to complete the repairs and work yet to come, as SDOT explained in a written release.
The West Seattle Bridge has been closed since March 2020 after engineers found growing cracks. While a task force and city officials weighed the decision to repair or replace the bridge, SDOT began the stabilization work, which has helped to stall the cracking.

When the long delayed decision to repair the West Seattle Bridge was made on Nov. 18 it was the culmination of a process that involved dozens of online meetings, and thousands of work hours by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT). It was primarily an engineering driven decision but the practical need to restore the corridor to service was a major consideration.
In the end Mayor Durkan took the repair path to help business and the public as soon as possible with safety as the overarching requirement.
Some West Seattleites want to build an aerial gondola to connect peninsula to downtown by Callie Craighead, SeattlePI
While the long-awaited decision to repair the cracked West Seattle High-Rise Bridge was finally made earlier in November, some residents are looking to the horizon for a totally new form of transit to connect the peninsula to the downtown core.
That s right, some West Seattle transportation advocates have launched a campaign effort for an aerial gondola in lieu of a Sound Transit Link Extension.
The West Seattle SkyLink is a proposal to deploy gondola technology usually used at ski resorts or scenic areas to connect the peninsula to the mainland in a mere two years. Similar urban gondolas exist in major cities like London, Singapore and Hong Kong.
