Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) bridge crews have closed the northbound curb lane on the Ballard Bridge today, August 18, and plan to do so again tomorrow. They are installing light pole bases. They expect to reopen the lane today by 2 p.m. The sidewalk on the east side of the bridge is already closed for bridge painting by a contractor working for SDOT.
