SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Department of Transportation said Thursday the West Seattle Bridge will open Sunday, Sept. 18. The Seattle Times reports the date is the most specific milestone set by the city since the bridge closed over two years ago because of safety concerns. The city previously set the week of Sept. 12 as its window for reopening the bridge but acknowledged possible unanticipated hiccups. The 40-year-old bridge is among the city’s most important, previously allowing 100,000 drivers and 20,000 transit users to move between West Seattle and the rest of the city each day.
