The temporary sky bridges for walk-on passengers at Colman Dock have already been torn down or closed. That means walk-on passengers must cross Alaskan Way at street level, and then use elevators or stairways to get to the terminal’s second-floor ticketing, waiting and loading area. A signed detour is set up.

Following the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct in 2019, a temporary bridge was installed to carry foot traffic from Colman Dock to 1st Avenue. The Marion Street Pedestrian Bridge carried an estimated 5 million people each year before the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, making it one of the busiest pedestrian crossings on the western seaboard.
