Repair or replace the West Seattle Bridge? City officials reveal possible timelines
The Seattle Department of Transportation revealed possible timelines for repairing or replacing the damaged West Seattle high bridge.
The earliest possible opening date for a repaired bridge would be sometime in 2022, SDOT said. A new bridge would not be ready for traffic until sometime between 2024 and 2026.
Matt Donahue, SDOT interim division director of roadway structures, explained the timelines Wednesday during a meeting of the West Seattle Bridge Community Task Force, which includes community representatives, elected officials, and business leaders.
Until recently, it was not clear repairs to the cracked bridge were even feasible, but Donahue revealed during the meeting that a closer examination of the structure showed repairs were possible.
