TRAFFIC ALERT UPDATE: Crash cleared on eastbound bridge

3:45 PM: Thanks to the texter who just alerted us to this (206-293-6302 any time), noting that it’s compounded by the fact 99 is closed: A three-car collision is blocking two lanes on the eastbound bridge, described by SDOT as “west of 4th Avenue S.”

4:02 PM UPDATE: Adding the WSDOT camera that’s currently pointed westward, looking at the collision scene. Here’s the view looking eastward over the upper and lower bridges – the latter seems a better option right now.

4:44 PM: SDOT says the crash has cleared. The backup will take a while longer.

    Eastbound backed up to steel mill- lots of emergency vehicles on scene.

    I think it’s just west of first avenue – we saw it as we were merging westbound from the first avenue onramp.

    Looks like a bad Monday morning commute .. But, its Saturday.

    well that was ridiculous; the bridge was backed up to Admiral, absolute parking lot; thankfully I left for work over in Hillman City 45 mins early; it took that long to get there; I live above bridge; left here 4:15; got to work 5pm

Sorry, comment time is over.
