The West Seattle Bridge shut down in March 2020, so we're coming up on two long years without a direct route off the Peninsula. Being Seattle, the problem was talked to death (we like consensus here) until the decision finally made to repair rather than replace. In the last few months, you could finally see some action up there, a good sign, and the reopening estimate was set for mid-year. Hooray.
Not so fast. Dozens of local construction projects are stalled due to a months long concrete strike, and unless it gets resolved soon, it will likely affect the timeline for the bridge repair. In the construction biz, concrete makes the world go round.
I'm always astonished in Las Vegas, seeing how quickly freeways and huge overpasses are constructed. Have you heard of the Concrete Club? One of the 10 businesses supposedly controlled by the Mafia, but you didn't hear it from me :-)
