SEATTLE - Concrete workers in western Washington are still on strike which means there will now be a delay on the reopening of the West Seattle Bridge.

A resolution needed to happen on Feb. 20, according to Seattle Mayor, Bruce Harrell, in order to avoid delays for the bridge.

If the strike doesn't end, Harrell said there could be significant delays.

According to Jamie Fleming with the Teamsters Local No. 174, no resolution has been reached.

"It's tragic how many people are being hurt," said Fleming.

Fleming says the strike has been going on for three months. "This is long for any strike," she said.

With this work stoppage involving concrete workers in our region, large and small projects that need concrete are caught in the crossfire.
