TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Tuesday alerts & updates

(SDOT MAP with travel times/video links; is the ‘low bridge’ closed? LOOK HERE)

(Click any view for a close-up; more cameras on the WSB Traffic page)

6:58 AM: Good morning. Trouble on northbound Highway 99 right now – SDOT reports “a disabled semitruck blocking the bus lane” near Royal Brougham.

7:10 AM: SDOT just tweeted that the stalled truck has been cleared. Meantime, its “low bridge” camera is malfunctioning this morning – stuck on a view from yesterday – so we’ve had to replace it in our field of four featured cameras above – instead, you’ll see the camera showing the intersection with the west end of the low bridge.

7:15 AM: What’s on the 911 log as a medical call at West Marginal Way/Highland Park Way is blocking a lane of the latter, according to a texter. No cameras in that area so we are heading that way to check it out.

7:39 AM Scene is clear.

8:12 AM SDOT reports a crash at 35th/Kenyon. No SFD callout.

Looks like some of the replaced center barriers on the bridge as it comes up to Fauntleroy are already out of whack (in addition to much of the rest of the barriers that have been for as long as I can remember).

There was a crash the other day near the Fauntleroy curve – not major injuries, but it briefly led to a westbound closure and SDOT mentioned on twitter at the time that it was for the barriers to be put back in place.

Sorry, comment time is over.
