Stuck Bridge – Unstuck

Spokane Street Bridge is fixed now. Was stuck this afternoon not quite closed after a ship traffic opening from ~ 5 pm to ~ 7. Some riders called for bail out rides. Others rode to 1st Ave Bridge. Others rode back downtown (toward work! ) and took the King County Water Taxi. Thank you to the crew for loading so many bikes!!!
I guess we can stop gloating now for escaping last week’s carmaggedon on our bikes, and just be thankful we have the bridge back.
Got any good adventure stories?  DSC02634

  1. This is reminiscent of February 2001 when I was trying to ride home from work the day of the Nisqually earthquake, the swing bridge was damaged and couldn’t quite close. It was a few hours before I could get to Alki Elementary to find my daughter sitting in the field wrapped in a space blanket waiting patiently to be picked up. I hope they figure out what’s causing the problem and prevent future occurrences.
