Note to Queen Anne residents: You may want to try to avoid commuting to Ballard during rush hours for the next few days. With one northbound lane of the Ballard Bridge closed all week, drivers are getting stuck the backup.
Our network editor, Doug, took this photo around 1 p.m. on Tuesday from the Dravus Street overpass. With a combination of SDOT crews closing the right lane to install light pole brackets and boat traffic, crossing the bridge can take much longer than normal. As a reminder, the lane will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through this coming Friday.
