Heads up, West Seattleites and daily commuters! You'll need to adjust your travel plans as the Spokane St Swing Bridge, also known as the low bridge, is scheduled for a shut-down from October 25 through October 27 due to critical maintenance, per SDOT's blog. Built three decades ago in 1991, and serving as an essential connector for both pedestrians and bikers across the West Duwamish Waterway, the low bridge will be entirely closed to all - those biking, walking, and driving.
SDOT's blog post outlines alternative transport methods including local bus services and the West Seattle Water Taxi, both of which will be running on their regular schedule, unfazed by the closure.
"We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete this crucial work to keep the low bridge reliably operating today and in the future." For more detailed detour maps and to keep abreast of future disruptions, it's a smart move to sign up for project updates on the SDOT website.
