Prior to its closure in March 2020, the West Seattle Bridge was Seattle’s most-used bridge, typically carrying about 84,000 vehicles and 19,000 transit passengers every day.
The city completed comprehensive tests to ensure the repairs to the bridge can hold the level of traffic expected. The city will continue to monitor the bridge, which is expected to last another 40 years.
