Just after 9 p.m. Saturday, the first vehicle, a motorcycle, made its way across the West Seattle Bridge.
Seattle DOT says it has spent more than $100 million in repairs to the bridge, including road improvements in the neighboring communities impacted by the traffic gridlock that followed the 30-month closure.“I’m super excited,” said Barbara Danisher of West Seattle.
“I’m excited not to have to commute 30 minutes around just to get home. So, last night I was just like ‘Oh, my God! Oh, my God!’ Just so excited.”Marx says for the next three months, they are going to inspect the bridge every two weeks, then once a year, then once every two years, as the feds require.
