Ballard Bridge weekend closures coming this spring
SEATTLE – Multiple rounds of weekend closures are coming to Seattle’s Ballard Bridge this spring as crews complete a vital construction project.
The Seattle Department of Transportation is asking drivers to take the Aurora Avenue Bridge during the maintenance work, as the Fremont Bridge has a limited capacity and could see increased traffic backups.
Here’s when the Ballard Bridge closures are happening:
- April 25-28
- May 9-12
- May 30-June 2
- June 6-9
According to SDOT, the first weekend closure at the end of April will begin at 7 p.m. Friday and end by 5 a.m. on Monday. The timing of the closures will be the same for each weekend.
There are also some backup dates for closures, if needed. Those are set for June 13-16 and July 18-21. SDOT will notify the public if the additional closures are needed.
Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather conditions, crew and materials availability, and other circumstances.
Getting around
SDOT recommends drivers to take the Aurora Bridge (SR 99), and to only take the Fremont Bridge if you’re traveling to Fremont or Westlake.
Buses will be rerouted to the Fremont Bridge. Some bus stops near the Ballard Bridge may also be temporarily relocated during the closures.
For those biking and walking, you can still get across the Ballard Bridge. Bikers may be asked to walk their bikes across the bridge for safety reasons.
More information, including ways to sign up for updates, can be found on the SDOT website.

Oregon State basketball falls at Seattle
Oregon State’s three-game road winning streak ended with a significant missed opportunity.
Matija Samar scored 14 points and Jorge Diaz Graham had 12 in a 60-50 Beavers loss at Seattle Sunday night at Redhawk Center.
“What was really disappointing is we reverted back to things that have cost us in the past‚” Oregon State coach Wayne Tinkle said on postgame radio. “No toughness on the boards. We got our butts kicked and we couldn’t finish. Guard play — we kept putting our hands in the air looking for fouls and we’re turning it over.”
OSU’s starters combined to score 13 points on 6 of 26 shooting from the field, including 0 for 10 from three. Josiah Lake II scored three points on 1 of 8 shooting and made 1 of 3 free throws.
“You can’t have so many guys no-show on either end,” Tinkle said. “I love the fact that we finally found a group that thought it was important and actually played hard and shared it. Shame on us for the rest that weren’t ready to play that way.”
The loss moves Oregon State (14-14, 7-8 WCC) into a tie for fifth in the conference with three games left in the regular season. Though OSU is just one game behind fourth-place Pacific, the Tigers have the tiebreaker.
The Beavers shot just 29.2% from the field in the first half and trailed 36-18 at halftime.
That was more than enough cushion for Seattle (16-11, 5-9), which got 16 points from John Christofilis and 15 points and nine rebounds from Will Heimbrodt.
Diaz Graham scored 10 points and had five of his six rebounds and Samar scored nine points in the second half to help Oregon State cut a 23-point deficit down to 51-42 with 7:00 to go, but it would not get any closer.
“(Samar) played spirited,” Tinkle said. “He showed some fight and some fire. It’s too bad that we didn’t get other guys to follow suit.”
It was the lone remaining Quadrant 2 game for OSU, which hosts last place Pepperdine on Saturday.
Jojo Murphy had 11 points, five rebounds and three assists and Houran Dan had 10 points for the Redhawks, who never trailed and evened the season series. Seattle moved into a tie for ninth place in the WCC.

NHL Unites Pride Cup features Seattle, Vancouver LGBTQ+ teams in 3rd annual event | NHL.com
TORONTO (Feb. 15, 2026) – The National Hockey League in partnership with Pride Tape will host the 2026 NHL Unites Pride Cup for the third consecutive season, featuring members of Vancouver’s The Cutting Edges and the Seattle Pride Hockey Association competing for the Pride Cup trophy on Sat. Feb. 28 and Sun. Mar. 1, in Surrey, British Columbia.
Now in its third year, the expanded two-day event at the North Surrey Sport & Ice Complex will showcase two LGBTQ+ hockey associations leading the way in the Pacific Northwest. The three-game series will see each organization receive a $25,000 donation in support of their continued community impact.
“The Cutting Edges are honored to be part of the NHL Unites Pride Cup alongside great partners like Seattle Pride Hockey Association, the NHL and Pride Tape,” said Kyle McCarthy, president of The Cutting Edges. “This is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate what hockey is all about, community.”
“The NHL Unites Pride Cup is about more than hockey — it’s about visibility, belonging, and showing LGBTQ+ players and fans that this sport is for them,” said Steven Thompson, president of the Seattle Pride Hockey Association. “We’re incredibly proud to share the ice with the Vancouver Cutting Edges and grateful to the NHL for continuing to invest in community-driven inclusion. Moments like this help shape the future of hockey into one that truly welcomes everyone.”
More than 40 players will participate alongside special guests. League partner, the You Can Play Project will conduct an education session for local coaches to help support an arena environment where LGBTQ+ athletes can play as their authentic selves. While Pride Tape’s Jeff McLean and Dean Petruk, who just celebrated the venture’s 10th anniversary, will be on hand to continue their mission of promoting diversity, equality and inclusion through sport.
“Since the inaugural Pride Cup, we’ve seen hockey communities across the League come together to create a welcoming, respectful experience for everyone who loves the game,” said Kim Davis, NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Social Impact, Growth Initiatives, and Legislative Affairs. “At its best, hockey brings people together — fostering inclusive environments for all who play and love the sport. Our Pride initiatives are one of the many ways we continue to live out that commitment.”
The 2026 NHL Unites Pride Cup is part of a longstanding commitment from the NHL to support LGBTQ+ hockey organizations and to host celebrations of authenticity, including the inaugural NHL All-Star Pride Cup during the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend in Toronto and the 2025 NHL Pride Cup at 4 Nations Face-Off in Boston.

Jorge Prado withdraws from Seattle SMX Round 6 with a shoulder injury
Jorge Prado posted the fastest time in qualification for Round 6 of the SuperMotocross World Championship, but a hard crash in the second session sent him off the track early to have his shoulder evaluated.
Prado was x-rayed by the Alpinestars Medical crew and showed no sign of a break, but after lining up for Heat 2 and taking the gate drop, he realized he would not be healthy enough to race.
Prado withdrew from the heat, and the team immediately announced that he would not line up for the Last Chance Qualifier.
Christian Craig was also unable to line up for the LCQ.
Last week, RJ Hampshire was forced to retire from the round after suffering flu-like symptoms.
