SR 99 Aurora Bridge lane closures this weekend

Early morning plans on Saturday? Of course you have plans on Sunday as you tune in to watch the Seahawks! Well, wherever your weekend takes you be advised of some lane closures on the SR 99 Aurora Bridge. Our bridge maintenance crews will close two southbound lanes of across the Aurora Bridge at 6:30am on both Saturday, January 16, and Sunday, January 17, for bridge inspection work. One southbound lane will remain open to traffic during the closures. All lanes will reopen by noon each day.

DRIVER ALERT: Several weeks of SR 99 lane closures begin Monday night

Whether you drive or take the bus you’ll want to prepare for more traffic on SR 99 starting Monday, January 18. That’s when contractor crews working for the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program will close one lane in each direction between the Aurora Bridge and just north of Mercer Street for sign work. The closures will last through mid-February. Once that work wraps up crews will open those lanes but will need to close one southbound lane until early March.
