FREMONT - Due to the lack of availability of necessary materials, last week's planned Fremont Bridge closures were shortened. Yet more bridge closures are planned so that Seattle Department of Transportation crews can continue upgrading the bridge's electrical and mechanical systems.
All motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists are prohibited from 1:30 to 5:15 a.m. on Thursday, July 5, and Friday, July 6, and again from 9 p.m. to no later than 6 a.m. on Monday, July 9, and Tuesday, July 10 (depending on work progress).
Marine traffic is not affected.
These nightly closures are an alternative to closing the bridge for an entire weekend, which has been avoided so far.
During these times, a shuttle service will run from 9 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. each night between North 34th Street and Fremont Avenue North on the north end of the bridge and West Nickerson Street and Fourth Avenue North on the south end. Signs will note where the shuttle will pick up and drop off passengers every 20 to 30 minutes.
