You won't be able to gaze wistfully seaward from the Fremont Bridge this Wednesday, Thursday, and half of Friday. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is closing the west sidewalk of the Fremont Bridge (from Nickerson Street to N 34th Street) beginning at 9 a.m. Wednesday, June 10, and reopening it at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, June 12. They're replacing concrete panels in the bridge sidewalk. You will be able to cross on the eastern sidewalk, and we encourage you to bring a camera for photos of spandex-clad cyclists colliding at high speed because that would warm our little peach pit of a heart. Freaking maniacs. It's a sidewalk. Slow down. more ›
