SDOT will close the Magnolia Bridge from 8 PM Friday, January 29, until 8 AM Saturday morning, January 30, to perform maintenance. During this time, the Magnolia Bridge will be closed to all traffic between 15th Ave W and Thorndyke Ave W. If crews are unable to complete this work over Friday night, they will close the bridge again from 8 PM Saturday, January 30, until 8 AM Sunday, January 31. Drivers may use the W Dravus St or W Emerson St overpasses to travel between Magnolia and Interbay.
During this closure, drivers will still be able to access the Galer St Flyover to Piers 86 through 91. Access to the Marina and nearby businesses will be available via one of the ramps and flaggers will be present to maintain two-way traffic. King County Metro routes 19, 24, and 33 will be rerouted during this work. For information about bus service, visit King County Metro?s website or call (206) 553-3000.
This closure will allow crews to replace worn grout pads between the bridge deck and steel beams. This and other periodic maintenance helps prolong the life of the bridge.
