Elected officials held a celebration on Harbor Island Friday ahead of Sunday’s scheduled reopening.
In an interview with KIRO 7, Heather Marx of the Seattle Department of Transportation raised the possibility the bridge might reopen earlier than announced.“First, if we can open a little early, we’re going to do that. Second, we really don’t want people to be queuing up to be the first person across the bridge because it creates a safety problem,” Marx said.
“It’s like the moment you’ve been waiting for for two years,” said Chris Porter, who lives in West Seattle and owns A la Mode Pies. “We used to have a line out the door every Friday and Saturday night because we’re just a hop, skip and a jump from Capitol Hill and Beacon Hill and a lot of those neighborhoods that love pie, and all that dried up ,” he said.
Friday’s celebration included Sen. Maria Cantwell , who told KIRO 7 earlier this week in Washington, D.C. about cobbling together federal money for the repairs.
