TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Foggy Wednesday

(WS high/low bridges and Highway 99 views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
Still foggy in spots, so take care out there. No problems otherwise on the routes through/from West Seattle, so far this morning.

TRANSPORTATION NEWS: Two stories of note, in case you haven’t seen them yet – 2 new crosswalks planned for Delridge; changes on the downtown waterfront starting next week, including access to the Water Taxi dock at Pier 50.

9:01 AM: From the scanner, traffic hazard in the right lane on the Alaskan Way Viaduct – a couch cushion.

9:24 AM: And another problem on northbound 99 – a crash blocking the right lane near the stadiums. Here’s a cam showing the backup (looking south toward the northbound traffic, but south of the crash):

No indication of injuries in this incident – Seattle Fire was not dispatched.

9:56 AM: Backup should be clearing by now – the vehicle(s) involved have been moved off to the shoulder.

    99N is basically at a standstill. All because a couch cushion? Or is something else going on?

      Now there’s a 99 crash at King Street. Adding.

Sorry, comment time is over.
