Alaskan Way Viaduct short-term traffic alert

November 24, 2009 at 9:55 am | In Alaskan Way Viaduct, Transportation | 3 Comments

If you’re heading back this way in the next few hours, this might be a reason to avoid The Viaduct. From Peg Nielsen at SDOT:

Today, Tuesday, November 24, a Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) crew will be making emergency repairs to an expansion joint on the Alaskan Way Viaduct southbound just past the First Avenue S exit. From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. the left and center lane will be closed southbound just south of the First Avenue off-ramp and will not hinder traffic taking that exit. Then, from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., the center and right lane will be closed at the same location. Please use caution through the work zone.

  1. They were doing something there Monday night at around 7:30 PM as well – perhaps when it was discovered.

  2. Driving over it the past couple of evenings on my way home from work was startling – very pronounced bump and rattle – was intending to email the SDOT but I guess someone else beat me to it. Thanks SDOT!
