The work to shore-up the cracking West Seattle Bridge is nearly complete, and then it’s time to wait and see if the repairs will stand up to the cold, winter weather ahead.
All of the work on the West Seattle Bridge should be finished by the beginning of next week. This work is only designed to keep the bridge from failing under its own weight, and to accommodate the upcoming repairs that should begin next fall.
Workers have been using giant platforms that they lifted into place under the bridge. Those should be coming down in a week as well.
