“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.”
