Seattles Northbound First Avenue South Bridge Repairs Delayed: Temporary Fixes Now Late Friday
The northbound First Avenue South bridge in Seattle will remain closed until late Friday due to extensive damage discovered during repairs. The bridge, a double-leaf bascule type built in 1956 and rebuilt in 1998, is undergoing a three-phase project to improve stability and reduce stress. The first phase, which involves realigning parts of the bridge, is expected to be completed with a reduced speed limit of 25 mph. Phase two, set to begin mid to late April, will swap out steel grate panels, while a full deck replacement is planned for next year. Despite the delays, officials urge drivers to use alternate routes to avoid rush-hour backups and ensure marine traffic continues to move smoothly underneath the bridge.
