6:03 AM: Happy Friday! While we’re keeping an eye on today’s traffic, we’re also looking ahead at the weekend. No West Seattle-vicinity closures this time around, but if you drive in the north downtown area, you might want to know about this; the I-5 Spokane Street Interchange Bridge Repair project does have a weekend-long closure, but it doesn’t affect ramps directly to and from WS – this weekend, it’s closing the NB I-5 ramp to Spokane Street and 6th. And yet another reminder – Saturday night (technically early Sunday), clocks spring forward one hour, as Daylight Saving Time arrives.

9:04 AM: SDOT says some of the variable messaging system signs are dark again today, this time adding that it’s “due to a malfunction in the time estimating system” which they’re trying to find and fix.

10:59 AM: There’s a crash on northbound I-5 near I-90 – if you are thinking about heading that way, you might want to avoid NB 5 for a while.
