4:01 PM: If you’re heading eastbound toward downtown – the offramp to northbound Highway 99 will be closed for a bit. Smoke was coming from a stalled car, and Seattle Fire says the ramp will be blocked while they checked it out, with police on the way too, and a tow company being called.

5:19 PM UPDATE: SDOT just announced it’s open again:

UPDATE: The exit from the EB West Seattle Bridge to northbound SR 99 has reopened.

Just the ramp is closed, right? Not NB99.

  Thank you for the update. Hadn’t heard anything for a while and still don’t have a camera pointed at the ramp.
  … and as I post this, just getting word from SDOT, it’s reopened.

  SDOT tweeted that it had reopened, minutes before we noted their tweet above. Were they wrong?

Sorry, comment time is over.
