TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Updates for 2016’s first Tuesday

(Six WS-relevant views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
6:16 AM: Good morning! No incidents to report as the second non-holiday weekday of the year revs up.

FERRY DOCK ALERT: As mentioned Monday, work to replace two pilings at the Fauntleroy ferry dock is expected to start with contractor mobilization today. We’ll check later to see when crews/equipment arrive.

6:52 AM: If you’re using California SW south of Morgan Junction, note there’s a four-unit response to check out an automatic fire alarm at California/Willow.

7:04 AM: The fire-alarm call has closed, so that means the units have left the area.

8:07 AM: Kerry notes in a comment that the bridge is backed up to 35th. The lower-right camera above will show you if that subsides.

8:20 AM: Via scanner, just heard police dispatched for a vehicle reported to be stalled with mechanical trouble “midspan” on the eastbound bridge, flashers apparently not working.

8:41 AM: Here’s what SDOT said about that incident, via Twitter:

9:09 AM: That situation is all cleared up now.

      Thanks. No specific incidents on the log – there’s a crash on NB I-5 just *south* of the bridge, though, if anyone is heading up that way.

    Morning bridge jam seems to start earlier and earlier every year…

    • WSB January 5, 2016 (8:20 am)

      There’s an incident now – stalled vehicle. Adding above.

    Spd enroute, just passed us on bridge.

    Let’s make a betting pool on when the other *new* WS Bridge traffic cam will start working again. I say April 2nd.

Sorry, comment time is over.
