TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Monday updates

(Live view from the west-facing WS Bridge camera; other cameras are on the WSB Traffic page)
No trouble on the bridges but multiple WSB’ers have sent word of truck trouble at Delridge/Andover – photo momentarily here:

A TV helicopter has come over to check it out, per Twitter and one text so far. Note that the truck was turning from southbound Delridge to westbound Andover; still, a busy spot.

7:29 AM: Sue passed by a few minutes ago and reported the truck is still blocking the corner but, even going southbound, a lane is getting through.

8:01 AM: Just checked out the scene a few minutes ago. If you usually commute through Delridge/Andover in any direction, all’s well now – the truck has been entirely pulled over onto westbound Andover and there’s no backup, in any direction.

9:02 AM: Police investigation downtown is likely to affect traffic coming off the Viaduct at Seneca. Multiple reports say it’s a shooting on board a bus. More shortly.

9:33 AM: We are covering this separately.

3:05 PM NOTE: If you’re checking back here for PM commute info – Metro says its service is mostly back to normal (if any anomalies, they’ll be noted on the “Eye on Your Metro Commute” site)

4:27 PM UPDATE: Making note of this on all of our coverage pages related to this – just tweeted by SPD: “Streets reopened downtown. 2nd Ave still closed between Spring and University but should be opening shortly.”

5:22 PM NOTE: In case you’ve missed our other mentions – the West Seattle Water Taxi is canceled for the rest of the day/night. Stay tuned for updates about tomorrow.

    they shouldn’t allow helicopter in neighborhoods before 7:30am, (just sayin) Some of us have later schedules. ;)

    Major police incident at 2nd and Seneca is backing up the viaduct . . . lot of shots fired; looks like it involves a Metro bus. They have blocked off Seneca with police tape.

      Breaking that out into a separate story now. Thanks.

    Oh no! I hope that truck isn’t blocking the bike box!

Sorry, comment time is over.
