Single northbound and southbound lane closures on the bridge will be necessary. Motorists should expect rolling slowdowns in the direction of the affected lane. Only one lane at a time will be closed. Work will start in the southbound lane and end with the northbound lane. One quarter of the streetlights on the bridge will be out at a time. Spotters will assist any pedestrians and cyclists.
Inspection of the streetlight system is needed to close the construction contract and transfer ownership of the lights to Seattle City Light.
