West Seattle traffic alert: Battery Street Tunnel reopened

(Latest “live” picture looking at 99 just north of the bridge; more cameras here)
8:48 AM: New traffic problem: The Battery Street Tunnel is reported by SDOT to be closed in both directions. So that’s bad news for the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Taking the eastbound bridge to the 4th Avenue offramp (our favorite for quick downtown access) should be a good option.

9:01 AM UPDATE: And this is reported cleared – but once again, the backup will take a while to clear.

    the camera shot now looks like a saved image from this morning’s story, but no, the time stamp says 15:21. any idea on what is causing the current back-up?

Sorry, comment time is over.
