The lane closure on the Ballard Bridge, which has been impacting traffic since yesterday morning will continue tomorrow and into next week.

Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) crews have been installing brackets for light poles on the bridge. Marybeth Turner with SDOT tells us the work will continue on Friday and Monday. The curb lane in the northbound direction has closed each morning until 2 p.m.
“Four light poles are being replaced as a temporary measure until next year when all of the lighting on the bridge will be replaced,” Turner writes in a press release. “When SDOT has completed this preparatory work, Seattle City Light crews will install the four replacement poles.”

From what I've seen, the bike/pedestrian sidewalk going northbound is also closed, so people have to stick to the southbound sidewalk.
