Two traffic alerts for next week: SSV & VP

Looking ahead to next week, two traffic alerts that might give you cause to plan ahead:

SPOKANE STREET VIADUCT: Just announced by SDOT:

Roadway Structures Crews from the Seattle Department of Transportation will close the left-hand, eastbound lane on the Spokane Street Viaduct from Fourth Avenue South to First Avenue South on October 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., weather permitting. The closure will allow crews to make pavement repairs on the viaduct.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT: VP Joe Biden’s still on for a visit to Seattle next week, on Thursday (October 9). The full schedule hasn’t been announced but we do know he’s expected at a noon fundraising event for U.S. Senate candidates at the Convention Center downtown.

Thanks for the heads-up on the VP.

I’ve been hearing it on the TV News all day, but as with much of what’s broadcast, I don’t pay the greatest attention to, being that I’m usually surfing the net and such, so hadn’t caught the day/time.

I have an appointment up at Harborview at 2:30 that day, and although the bus does not go into downtown proper, it crosses I-5 on Albro, at the north end of Boeing Field.

When the President was in town a couple months ago, my bus heading back Home after my early evening appointment, had to wait on Swift, just before turning onto Albro, until the Motorcade passed.

No big deal, either then or upcoming, just as long as I know to expect it, and can plan accordingly.

Mike
