The swing bridge closed to vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists Friday due to repairs to one of the bridge’s motors, the Seattle Department of Transportation said in a post.
The department hopes to reopen the bike path sometime on Saturday, but drivers will still be prohibited.
“We made good progress today,” SDOT posted late Friday. “We removed the broken motor & began installing new one. The bridge will be left open for ships overnight (closed to land travel). We hope to reopen the bike path tomorrow morning (Sat 1/25), but bridge will remain closed to cars as repairs continue.”
