The scheduled closure of the South Park Bridge, originally scheduled to take place from Jan. 30 to Feb. 3 has been postponed according to the King County Department of Transportation.
The postponement is due to a delay in getting permits for the proposed work.
When the closure is rescheduled the four-days it will remain closed will allow engineers to perform noise and water quality testing and simulate vibration that might occur during bridge construction. During the closure, engineers will conduct pile driving to measure noise, vibration and take water quality samples.

Data collected during the tests will assist the county in planning for construction of a new bridge when financing becomes available. During the closure, motorists can detour via the First Avenue South Bridge.
An update as to when the closure will be rescheduled will be posted as soon as it is available.
