This is part of the Fall bridge raising so the boats can leave the harbor.

Peasants in your cars, please hold while the boat owners relocate. You can wait!

Bridge closed halfway then stopped. Boats headed south. I saw the 18th street bridge open then close while stuck on roosevelt. They finally turned around traffic after 20 minutes, and I was able to go south and cross at 18th.
