TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Thursday updates; fuel spill on the bridge

(Latest bridge and Viaduct views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
6:59 AM: All’s relatively well so far on the routes through/out of West Seattle. One big reminder for today, if you are driving the eastbound bridge between rush hours: Eastbound Spokane Street Viaduct surface-repair work is scheduled for 10 am-4 pm. We also updated the SW Charlestown closure on Wednesday – the city has changed the detour plan a bit; here’s the latest.

BRIDGE PROBLEM REPORTED, 7:56 AM: Trouble on the eastbound bridge and a text we just received might explain why: A truck is reported to have leaked/spilled fuel from the “Delridge merge” to 1st Avenue South. Fire crews are on the scene.

8:22 AM: The fire call for the spill has closed, and SDOT tells us via Twitter that it wasn’t major:

@westseattleblog Hearing news about the spill… the disabled tanker was able to drive away and the fuel amount left behind was small.

I’m sitting on Delridge and we are parked. Why they let the swing bridge open at this hour of the morning, I have no idea. It instantly creates a nightmare traffic jam.

Scooterista – we just got a text about another problem that may be to blame, a fuel spill or leak from a truck that reportedly went from Delridge to 1st Ave. So. on the bridge.

Sorry, comment time is over.
