The Spokane Street Swing Bridge (low bridge) is scheduled for a full closure to all users—including vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians—on Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, 2025. This closure is necessary for crews to reinstall a refurbished turn cylinder, a critical component for the bridge's operation. This work is part of an ongoing rehabilitation program for the low bridge, with further activities expected throughout 2025.

• Travel Alternatives During Low Bridge Closure:

  • The high-level West Seattle Bridge will remain open for vehicular traffic.

  • King County Metro bus services will continue to operate, rerouting via the high bridge.

  • The King County Water Taxi offers a direct route between West Seattle and downtown Seattle.

  • Cyclists and pedestrians are advised by SDOT to utilize the Water Taxi or bus services during the closure, as there isn't a simple dedicated detour for this short-term closure.
