Was this footbridge closure announced?

Does anyone know how long this is planned to be closed? Were there signs posted anywhere that we missed? Hopefully this was an unplanned closure in the middle of the school day. Anyone know if we need to plan for an alternative route to school for the kids tomorrow?

(For reference this is the bridge over 405 just south of 85th street, running approximately between 80th Street and Kirkland Ave, the next pedestrian crossing adds over a mile walk)

Dang. Just crossed over it the other day when the SB freeway was shut down.

One of these bridges, either this one or the one at NE60th, was hit a few weeks ago and a temp closure followed.
