Been waiting to plan a vacation till you hear the dates for WSDOT‘s planned 9-day October construction closure of the Alaskan Way Viaduct? Back in June, south-end project boss Matt Preedy told the Delridge Neighborhoods District Council that they were TENTATIVELY targeting October 21-31. Will those indeed be the dates? Or something different? We’ll find out Monday morning – when WSDOT will make the official announcement at a media briefing.

Maybe its in there somewhere, but will the new on-ramp from 1st Avenue be open by then? Sure hope so!!!

Many of the buses I take to work take the viaduct. Time to find an new bus that doesn’t!

Want good advice? Take the week off or work from home.

Work Downtown – they were certainly hoping it would be. The official project page still only says “fall.”

SDOT will be part of the Monday briefing and if they don’t volunteer that info, we’ll be sure the question gets asked! – TR
