New overpass opens: Seattle sports fans won't cross train tracks anymore

|

No longer do sports fans in Seattle cross the region's busiest freight-train tracks to reach Seattle Mariners, Seahawks and Sounders FC games.

Contractors for the Washington State Department of Transportation sealed off the crossing at Royal Brougham Way South at 11:30 a.m. Monday, putting an end to a hazardous era in the city's major-league sports.

From now on, pedestrians, cars and bicycles travel on a new two-lane overpass that rises from Brougham across the north-south trackway, then spirals down to surface level at Fourth Avenue South.
