This just in from the Seattle Department of Transportation:
Thursday, February 25, a Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) crew will make emergency repairs to an expansion joint on the Ballard Bridge. The north bound right lane will be closed at the north end of the bridge where roadway crosses over NW Leary. The left lane northbound will remain open to traffic. The work will begin at 9 a.m. and wrap up by 2:30 p.m. If necessary, the crew will return and do additional work in the same location on Friday, February 26, between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Motorists should expect slowing at the north end of the bridge and use added caution when passing the work zone.
