Keep in mind this week that there will be a lane closure on the Ballard Bridge.

Starting today from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the east sidewalk and northbound curbside lane on Ballard bridge will be closed for work on bridge lights, according to a press release from the Seattle Department of Transportation.

This will go on all week. On Thursday or Friday, Aug. 9 or 10, the closure will switch to the other side, with the southbound curbside lane closed. Both sidewalks at that time will remain open.

Then, for the late night or early morning drivers out there, the Ballard Bridge will be closed entirely, from 11 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 11, to 7 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 12. One sidewalk will remain open. This closure is to replace the strain poles that the traffic signal on the bridge.
