Contractor selected to construct final phase of West Seattle High-Rise Bridge repairs Contractor selection marks the latest move in the ongoing effort to safely reopen the bridge on schedule in mid-2022 May 20, 2021 / 2 minute read Image: Seattle DOT The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has selected the construction firm Kraemer North America to complete the final phase of West Seattle High-Rise Bridge repairs. This selection of a contractor marks the latest move in the ongoing effort to safely reopen the bridge on schedule in mid-2022, the agency says. The West Seattle High-Rise Bridge was closed to protect public safety in March 2020 after city engineers discovered rapidly growing cracks in multiple locations. SDOT immediately set to work on a stabilization effort by installing 10 miles of taut steel cable inside the bridge, repairing a bearing in the Pier 18 support structure, and wrapping the structure in carbon fiber in multiple locations.

Passed by the Council in November, the fee is expected to pull in $7.2 million per year. While Pedersen’s amendment appears to have five votes via the five sponsors backing it Pedersen, Andrew Lewis, Lisa Herbold, Teresa Mosqueda, and Debora Juarez a committee recommendation isn’t assured. Only Pedersen and Herbold are members of the transportation committee, while Juarez is an alternate. Plus, some sponsors could change their mind and oppose the plan. Six Council votes and the Mayor’s signature are needed to ultimately approve bonding, and it’s not clear he has them.

Freight Advisory Board Pushes Back Against West Marginal Bike Lane in Secret Meeting

West Marginal Way SW along the stretch where SDOT is considering installing a protected bike lane in one southbound lane. (Ryan Packer) The Seattle Freight Advisory Board devoted a significant portion of their April meeting detailing reasons that the City should not install a protected bike lane on a short segment of West Marginal Way SW. The presentation shown to board members was not reviewed by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) for accuracy, according to a department spokesperson. While a link to the virtual meeting was available on a City website, an agenda for the meeting was not, providing no way for members of the public to even be aware that it was being discussed. The Freight Advisory Board has also not posted the minutes from one of its meetings since last last July, so who knows when the fact that it had even been talked about would be available as a matter of public record.
