TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Tuesday ‘welcome back’ edition

(Live view from the east-facing WS Bridge camera; other cameras are on the WSB Traffic page)
6:12 AM: Back to school (for a few more weeks), and back on the roads. Even the east-facing bridge camera is back! Today’s traffic/transit watch has begun.

9:39 AM: Police are checking out a report of two “erratic” drivers on the eastbound bridge, honking at each other – possibly a road-rage situation, according to radio communications.

12:08 PM: We have received reports of a family of geese on the eastbound bridge by 99. Animal Control reportedly has been called.

2:51 PM: Now there’s a report of a crash on the westbound bridge around Admiral. No backups on the cameras at this point, though. (added) The call’s been corrected to eastbound bridge near Delridge.

4:44 PM: Backup on the westbound bridge – we’re told it’s because of a stalled car in the left lane. Clears up after the stall, so if you’re on a bus and reading this (or in a carpool), be patient …

    They just towed a ferry from Colman to the shipyard. Seems like a strange time of day to pull it out of service unless there was a problem…

    Going by what the maintenance schedule says, that ferry was most likely the M/V Wenatchee (scheduled for drydocking until mid July).

    Work Downtown – No, we are not allowed to use that lane. At least as far as I know. Those were some punks just using it anyway.

    A.I.S. confirms M/V Wenatchee is at shipyard in drydock.

Sorry, comment time is over.
