There’s a new way to get onto the West Seattle Bridge.
The Spokane Street Viaduct opened to drivers Friday morning, allowing westbound drivers another option without having to get onto Highway 99 or I-5.
It replaces the off-ramp previously located at Fourth Avenue S, and the on-ramp previously located on Spokane just west of First Avenue S. Both were demolished to make way for a widened Spokane Street Viaduct. Read more about the project.
SDOT expects the new route will help ease congestion on the Spokane Street Bridge.
The West Seattle Blog took some video of the drive Friday morning:
