TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Friday updates; Highway 99 crash

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

7:01 AM: Good morning. We start with a crash on Highway 99 northbound, north of the West Seattle Bridge, blocking one lane.

7:21 AM: SDOT now says the crash is blocking two lanes, and Metro warns of delays in bus routes that use 99:

7:35 AM: SDOT says the 99 crash has been cleared to the shoulder, and all lanes are open. The residual backup, though, will persist a while.

7:44 AM: Reader reports a crash near the crest of the eastbound West Seattle Bridge. So in summary – if you’re heading out and can wait, do!

7:52 AM: SDOzt says that has just cleared.

    Things are backed up!  Take the lower bridge if you can!

    Third day in a row that wrecks have backed up traffic. Wtf is going on. If you can’t drive 15mph in rush hour traffic on 99 without wrecking, maybe you shouldn’t drive at all.
