NAVIGATING THE MONLAKE BRIDGE CLOSURE

If you've passed down NE 45th St. over the past week, you've surely noticed an increase in vehicle traffic through the U District. This is because of the Montlake Bridge closure, which will last until September 3. An additional series of temporary weekend closures will take place this fall as well.

Below are links to resources we have compiled to help drivers and transit riders navigate the closure. The most convenient way to access the district, especially from the south, may be through the University of Washington Link light rail station.
