The West Seattle Bridge is a major roadway that connects the West Seattle neighborhood to downtown Seattle, Washington. It spans the Duwamish River and is an essential route for commuters and commercial traffic. The bridge was originally opened in 1984 and has undergone various maintenance and upgrades over the years. In March 2020, the bridge was closed due to structural concerns, prompting extensive repairs. The city of Seattle initiated a project to restore the bridge, which included reinforcing its structure. The reopening of the bridge is crucial for improving access and reducing traffic congestion in the area.
