Crews from the Seattle Department of Transportation will close the right, southbound lane on the Ballard Bridge today at 9:30 a.m. and will reopen the lane no later than 2:30 p.m. During this closure the crews will remove the last pole for upgrading the lighting on the bridge. They do not plan further lane closures on the bridge for the lighting project until Wednesday, September 19 when they plan to pour concrete for new pole bases.
