However, is there a reason for the really shoddy set of ruts (from old lanes, dividers) and patches on the concrete viaduct surface after all the time spent working on it? All the ruts get filled with water during the rain making it pretty unsafe as far as I can tell. Is there a plan to smoothen things out? Slightly offtopic: I’m grateful for the widened viaduct.

Also, the City of Seattle cleared all construction-related lane closures off the Lander St. to First Ave. S. detour route this weekend. You can keep tabs on traffic slowdowns and construction progress on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wsdot SR 99 is a good alternate route this weekend; we don’t have any other planned construction there.

Well, if I was, I have plenty of smart monkey company now. Perhaps the smartest monkey now stays home or south of the I-90 interchange...the tough one will be the I-5 NB on-ramp closure...or for that matter SB...

But WSDOT is the same agency responsible for both and even during the coordination of Spokane St. Viaduct project closures with SDOT, they worked to coordinate so for example you wouldn't have a southbound Viaduct and southbound I-5 exit closure the same weekend.
