Lane vanishes from Aurora Bridge

Posted by Geeky Swedes on January 1st, 2009

We read in comments recently (our apologies, we don’t remember who posted it) that the snow plows and sanders had inadvertently eliminated a lane from the Aurora Bridge. Today, we drove over the bridge and snapped a photo:

Going in either direction, the reflectors and lines separating the second and third lanes have vanished. We found some drivers were swerving a bit, confused if there were really three lanes or two. (Reminds us of that Seinfeld episode when Kramer adopted a stretch of roadway and converted it into wide lanes, throwing traffic into chaos.) The West Seattle Bridge is also missing a lane. SDOT says it’s a priority to replace the reflectors and paint, so stay tuned.
