The reopening date will depend on the completion of the remaining work which includes finishing epoxy injections, carbon fiber wrapping, paving, safety inspection platform installation, and robust safety testing, officials said.
"It is a relief to be so close to the end of this difficult closure," said Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell. "We recognize how painful this closure has been for so many people, businesses, and communities. Their safety has been at the core of this repair effort since the beginning. As we reopen the bridge and reconnect our city, we are bringing our communities together with the confidence that the bridge is now stronger and safer for everyone.
"This monumental effort has repaired the cracks and made the bridge stronger and safer," said Heather Marx. "SDOT is confident that the bridge will now stand strong for decades to come, fulfilling its original intended lifespan.
