TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Rainy Wednesday updates

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

6:59 AM: Good morning. No incidents reported in/from West Seattle so far on this damp morning but this might be the only area in the region without trouble.

Meantime, Susan reports via Twitter that truck backups have returned to the westbound bridge this week.

LIGHT RAIL: Interested in the plan for light rail to come to West Seattle in 2030? Tonight’s the night the Junction Neighborhood Organization hosts a Sound Transit presentation about it, 6:30 pm at the Senior Center/Sisson Building (4217 SW Oregon).

7:37 AM: Sharon reports in a comment below that the chronic flooding of the Delridge onramp to the bridge is back.

7:53 AM: Metro just sent an alert saying the 56 scheduled a few minutes ago did not operate.

8:16 AM: Regional traffic-watchers have described this commute as “a slog.” As Judy noted in comments, the last stretch of Harbor Avenue headed for the bridge is included in that this morning – the SDOT map currently verifies that by showing the road in red. No incidents reported, but we know there are chronic flooding problems on that stretch too.

      We of course will be covering it, and likely recording video for publishing afterward. – TR
