TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Friday updates; closures, changes ahead

(Live view from the east-facing WS Bridge camera; other cameras are on the WSB Traffic page)
6:50 AM: Happy Friday! One more time, here’s a look ahead to closures/changes:

*Tonight/tomorrow morning, Highway 99 closures – details here
*Next Monday-Friday, Orchard/Dumar closes between Highland Park/Puget Ridge and Delridge – details here
*Prep work is under way there, so Metro Route 120 changes are already in effect – explained here

7:35 AM: Don’t know the severity (or lack of it), but Engine 36 is on a call described as “fuel spill” at 11th and Spokane, which would be just east of the low bridge. Also, Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth ferry runs are about 10-15 minutes delayed because of the fog, per WSF; it started very early this morning – we were hearing the ferry foghorns starting around 1 am. On the other side of the West Seattle waterfront, just got this photo from Lise:

(The Spirit of Kingston is on the Vashon run today.)

8:42 AM: Fog effects continue on the waterways: The West Seattle Water Taxi is on time at last report, but one Vashon run has been canceled by both the fog and a “minor mechanical (problem)”; the three ferries on the Fauntleroy route are all running up to half an hour late now.

    6 pm – major delay on C line. 6-bus backlog showing on One Bus Away somewhere before 2nd & Columbia. Lots of folks delayed. Some of us opting for 21, etc. plus a walk.

Sorry, comment time is over.
