1 more warning: New Spokane Street Viaduct phase Monday night

This won’t affect your commute tomorrow – but if you use The Bridge eastbound, it probably will, starting Tuesday. After a complete overnight closure 9 pm Monday-5 am Tuesday, the eastbound Spokane Street Viaduct (between 1st and 4th Avenues) will be down to one lane for up to six weeks, around the clock, so the new 4th Ave. offramp can be connected to the existing roadway. Here’s the best explanation of what’ll be going on (including a reminder that the lower eastbound Spokane St. lanes are open in that same stretch).

Very nice explanation (in the link). It’s nice to see a blog from the DOT that explains exactly what work is being done. So those who are want to “complain” endlessly are welcome to read it and suggest any other method to do the work faster (perhaps using some magical powers or mystical local deity). I’m happy to see them get this done on budget and earlier than scheduled. Nice to see that now and again (cough: Brightwater)

The city has added a whole slew of blog-format websites lately – many are just the news releases that used to go online a different way, but some are very helpful and well-written, and the SDOT work tends to be in that vein. Often photos, too!

Sorry, comment time is over.
