Two of the bridges that feed traffic to Eastlake -- the University and Fairview Avenue bridges -- will undergo repairs starting next week, the Seattle Department of Transportation reports. The repairs will restrict traffic on the bridges during parts of the day.
- The Fairview Avenue Bridge (1300 block of Fairview, on the lake side of ZymoGenetics) will be painted begining Feb. 16. The work is expected to take three weeks. The bike lane next to the bridge railing will be narrowed during the work, so SDOT urges bike riders to be careful. Also, the contractor may reduce traffic to one lane in each direction during work hours. The full width of the bridge will be open for vehicle traffic between 6 and 9 a.m. and 4 and 6 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.
- On the University Bridge, the northbound, right-hand lane on the north approach will be closed for repairs under the bridge from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 17 and 18.
