Construction work will affect King County Metro Transit service in Ballard
and Fremont beginning Friday evening. Plus, ongoing work at the University of
Washington is causing detours for buses in the University District.
The city of Seattle will close the Ballard Bridge for repairs from 8 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 23 through 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24. During the closure, no
vehicles will be allowed on the bridge.
Metro Transit is preparing for the closures by rerouting its regular service
around both the Ballard and Fremont bridges. Metro will provide shuttle service
to connect passengers with the rerouted buses. Look for more information on
Metro Online. Similar service will be
offered during a second, lengthier closure of the Ballard Bridge from Sept.
6 to Sept. 9.
Metro is reminding passengers that another construction project continues to
affect bus service on the University of Washington campus. Through Friday,
Sept. 6 there will be no bus service along Stevens Way. Passengers should
board and exit all transit service along 15th Avenue Northeast, Northeast
Pacific Street, or Northeast Campus Parkway. This reroute has been in effect
since Aug. 19.
