The Montlake Bridge, one of four drawbridges that span the Lake Washington Ship Canal, has closed to public transit and vehicles until Sept. 3rd for WSDOT repair and maintenance work. It’s hard to imagine getting around Seattle without the Montlake Bridge, but at one point in history that seemed likely. It took 10 years of advocacy and multiple ballot initiatives before Seattle voters finally approved construction of the bridge for a June 27, 1925 opening day. Almost a century later, the double-leaf bascule (a style of drawbridge that uses counterweights to lift their spans, after the French word for ‘balance scale’) drawbridge’s Gothic architectural details fit right in with nearby University of Washington’s campus and we’re glad this beautiful structure will continue to serve Seattle for many more years to come.
