TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Monday updates & alerts, with football tonight

(Three WS-relevant views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
6:41 AM: Good morning! So far this morning, no incidents in West Seattle or on the major outbound routes from here. Big story later will be Monday Night Football, with the Seahawks hosting Detroit, 5:30 pm kickoff at CenturyLink Field. The West Seattle Water Taxi will have extended evening service, with the last run from downtown set to leave at 10:30 pm.

10:32 AM – WEEKEND PREVIEW ADDED: Quiet morning so far. But alerts for the week ahead will likely be emerging – like this one from WSDOT, of note if you use I-90:

Westbound traffic between Bellevue Way and Rainier Avenue South will be reduced to one lane and detoured to the I-90 express lanes from 11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9, to 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12. Drivers heading to Mercer Island must exit westbound I-90 at East Mercer Way. There are no westbound exits to Mercer Island from the express lanes.

Since it’s westbound, it won’t cause an I-5 backup like the earlier eastbound work did, but still something you’ll want to know about if you’re crossing the lake over the weekend.

55 leaving downtown at 5:09 was cancelled. Odd because it was on OneBusAway and then disappeared, then I got the text alert from Metro.

Got a text that the 5:09 and 5:17 55 buses have both been cancelled.

I love how I kept getting notices from Metro the last few days telling me to keep my car off the road and take metro instead on Monday! But then I can’t get the buses I want to get because they cancel them. So not really helpful. Grateful I’m home today and not dealing with any of it.

Sorry, comment time is over.
