Drivers, bikers and walkers need to avoid the West Seattle swing bridge for two days as Seattle Department of Transportation completes some repairs on Saturday and Sunday.

The closure began at 7 a.m. Saturday and will remain in effect until SDOT announces the completion of the installation. Look for updates on X.
