Thanks for the reminder, Brandon. We’ll include the reroute links in tomorrow’s traffic watch as well as Saturday and Sunday coverage. It’s all on the Metro reroute/rider alert page – for example, for the 120, 125, and C Line, they’ll take 4th Avenue off the West Seattle Bridge/Spokane St. Viaduct:

How will the viaduct closure alter bus routes? I imagine the C will be routed over the West Seattle Bridge and then travel downtown via SODO, but that’s just a guess.

Why the slow response times in Seattle to stalled vehicles? This VW van is just the latest in incidents where vehicles have been left for an hour or 2 or more on the West Seattle Bridge or 99.

Pretty major accident on 99 N near Seneca. Van hit a vehicle and careened across the fwy and now sits partially on the concrete barrier. Will probably require equipment! Expect delays…

Just now, stalled VW Vannagon east bound bridge at bottom of hill adjacent to Nucor. I sure hope that gets cleared soon.
