Spokane Street Swing Bridge Reopened to Traffic

With inspections and repairs now complete, the Lower Spokane Street Swing Bridge has reopened to traffic. Seattle Department of Transportation electricians and bridge crews determined that a faulty electronic component caused the malfunction that occurred earlier.

The component has been replaced with a spare part and systems tests show that the bridge is fully functional. The Lower Spokane Street Swing Bridge is now available for vehicular, pedestrian, and bike traffic, and can open to allow the passage of marine vessels.
