West Seattle High-Rise Bridge clears major hurdle on road to repair The West Seattle Bridge. (Feliks Banel, KIRO Radio) The Seattle Department of Transportation has selected construction firm Kraemer North America to complete the final phase of the West Seattle High-Rise Bridge repairs. This selection of a contractor was the latest in a series of milestones in the effort to reopen the bridge on schedule in mid-2022. The West Seattle High-Rise Bridge was closed in March 2020 after rapidly growing cracks were found in multiple locations. SDOT started working to stabilize the bridge. The emergency measures were completed by late 2020 and have stopped the cracks from growing larger, but additional work is needed to further strengthen the bridge and support the weight and stress of daily traffic.
