TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER, ROAD WORK: Friday + weekend notes, including Sunday morning’s bridge half-closure

6:03 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday, May 3.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Increasing clouds, rain possible later, high in the mid-60s. Today’s sunrise was at 5:47 am; sunset will be at 8:25 pm.

ROAD-WORK ALERT

*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project continues at Delridge/Oregon, which is narrowed as a result:

WEEKEND ALERTS:

Saturday morning: The two right lanes of the northbound First Avenue South Bridge will be closed 5:30-11:30 am for maintenance

Sunday morning: The westbound West Seattle Bridge will be closed to 4-wheel traffic for the Emerald City Ride, approximately 5-9 am, and the riders will be traveling a route around West Seattle – with rest stops at Alki and at South Seattle College – before heading back to the starting point in SODO via the low bridge.

TRANSIT NOTES

Metro today – Regular schedule; check advisories here.

Water Taxi today – Regular schedule. (Since it’s Friday, that means late-evening runs, too.) Check the real-time map if you need to see where the boat is.

Washington State Ferries today – The usual 2 boats on the Triangle Route. Check WSF alerts for last-minute changes. Use the real-time map to see where your ferry is.

SPOTLIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERAS

Low bridge: Open.

Delridge cameras: Besides the one below (Delridge/Orchard), cameras are also at Delridge/Genesee, Delridge/Juneau, Delridge/Henderson, Delridge/Oregon, and video-only (so you have to go to the map), Delridge/Holden and Delridge/Thistle.

High Bridge – As noted above, westbound lanes will be closed 5-9 am Sunday for the Emerald City Ride. Meantime, here’s the main camera:

High Bridge – the view from its southwest end (when SDOT points the 35th/Avalon/Fauntleroy camera that way):

1st Ave. S. Bridge:

Highway 99: – northbound side at Lander:

MORE TRAFFIC CAMS: All functioning traffic cams citywide are here; West Seattle and vicinity-relevant cameras are on this WSB page.

BRIDGE INFO: The @SDOTBridges feed on X (ex-Twitter) shows whether the city’s movable bridges are open for vessel traffic. (We’re aware that the low bridge hasn’t shown up in this feed since the recent closure, and we’re awaiting SDOT’s explanation.)

If you see a problem on the bridges/streets/paths/water, please text or call our hotline (when you can do that safely, and after you’ve reported to authorities if they’re not already on scene) – 206-293-6302. Thank you!
