Traffic alert for southbound 99 between The Viaduct and The Bridge

Just in from SDOT:

Motorists are advised to use caution when traveling southbound on Highway 99, before the West Seattle Bridge exit, south of downtown Seattle. Pavement is damaged in the middle lane. Seattle Department of Transportation crews are responding to make emergency repairs. The lane will be closed until repairs are completed, later today.

2:44 PM UPDATE: SDOT says it now expects the lane closure/repairs to happen around 3:30 and to take less than half an hour. 3:34 PM UPDATE: The repairs are done, so this shouldn’t be an issue for the rest of the commute.

    I can see from my downtown office that traffic is stopped right before the rise, and now backed up to downtown.

    Oh man, that was a big break in the pavement. I rode over it on my motorcycle yesterday evening…like crossing the Columbia. Glad they got to fixing it.

Sorry, comment time is over.
