Seattle's Montlake Bridge to close for a month beginning in August
The Montlake Bridge will be closed for a month beginning in August while the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) makes repairs on the 96-year-old bridge.
WSDOT plans to start Phase 1 on Aug. 9, and plans to finish by Sept. 3 in order to complete the bulk of the work between the end of Seafair and the beginning of Labor Day weekend.
The bridge will still be open to pedestrian and boat traffic, but vehicle traffic won't be allowed, according to the WSDOT blog.
Vehicle traffic will be rerouted to State Route 520 and I-5 during the closures. Transit will use the same detour or the University Bridge, according to the department.
