West Seattle Bridge Detour

Handy map put out by the Seattle Times! I was wondering how to get over to West Seattle, now that the West Seattle bridge has been closed indefinitely. The city says until 2021, but they don’t know if it is fixable yet. Even if they did, there isn’t a budget for it. So I wouldn’t count on it being even as soon as 2021. A light-rail extension is planned for the neighborhood, so maybe there’s a way to address this unexpected issue at the same time? Home values may be affected by the difficulty accessing the area for the next couple of years, which can open an opportunity for new home buyers.
