Repairs could give West Seattle Bridge 15 years of life, SDOT says
West Seattle residents wanted to know they weren’t being forgotten during a town hall meeting on Thursday. Several city leaders, including Mayor Jenny Durkan and Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best, answered questions for nearly an hour.
Sam Zimbabwe with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) answered questions about the West Seattle Bridge, and in a bit of good news said they could get a longer lifespan on repairing the bridge than they thought.
“The best we could hope for was about 10 more years of life, given what we understand now, we think it could be 15 years of life that we could get out of the bridge,” said Zimbabwe.
The West Seattle high bridge, the main connector between West Seattle and other parts of the city, closed suddenly in March when cracks were found to be spreading.
