TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: What you need to know for Tuesday

(Four WS-relevant views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
7:07 AM: The aftermath of a car-fire call at 35th/Fauntleroy, by the entrance to the bridge, is still causing a backup, we’re told via Twitter. The car-fire call itself is closed but if you’re heading to the bridge that way, you might wait a bit until the scene is completely clear.

Two advisories, meantime:

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC HOME GAME TONIGHT: 7 pm vs. Club Tijuana at CenturyLink Field, 39,000 people expected, so be aware of extra evening traffic/transit in the stadium zone.

VIADUCT/99 CLOSURES NEXT WEEKEND: Between the West Seattle Bridge and Battery Street Tunnel, the inspection closure is scheduled for 6 am-6 pm both days, Saturday and Sunday. But a stretch of 99 north of the tunnel will be closed around the clock late Friday to early Monday. Full details here.

7:20 AM UPDATE: What remains of the earlier incident is a car on the right shoulder of Fauntleroy just east of the entrance lane from northbound 35th, and a police car right behind it with its rollers going, so vehicles entering the bridge there are having to swerve a bit to the left to get around it, as shown on the live-video feed from the SDOT Travelers’ Map.

7:25 AM: Tow truck has arrived, so this should be clear shortly.

7:32 AM: All clear!

Tracy, according to the WSDOT website, the Viaduct closures are at night, not during the day as you have them. Please verify. Thanks.

Hi, no, it’s exactly what we have. Read again: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/Viaduct/Contents/Item/Display/2198
.
The part at the beginning where they talk about the nighttime phase-in has to do with the weekend-long closure *north* of the Battery Street Tunnel. The actual closure from WS Bridge to south end of BSTunnel is the second part under Highway 99:

6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28, and Sunday, March 29

WSDOT bridge inspection crews will conduct a scheduled inspection of the Alaskan Way Viaduct between Spokane Street and the Battery Street Tunnel.
