District 1 CIty Councilmember Lisa Herbold shared via social media today that the first of the final specialized concrete pours for the West Seattle Bridge will happen this weekend.

Today, SDOT let us know that this coming weekend, they will pour a specialized concrete needed to anchor and guide the post-tensioning cables that strengthen the West Seattle bridge to prevent cracking.

This pour is for 35 cubic yards, the first of 245 total cubic yards that are needed 👏⚡️

SDOT will be able to determine the schedule for completing the repairs to the bridge once all of the pours are done.

SDOT has stated that once complete they will still need to let the concrete cure and then do load testing for an additional 30 days past the end date of all construction work. That means the date for reopening remains uncertain but this represents progress in the long delayed reopening.
