7:12 AM: One traffic incident of note as we get going today – SDOT has just reported a stalled vehicle blocking the right lane in the northbound Battery Street Tunnel, which could affect NB Alaskan Way Viaduct traffic if it goes on for a while.
7:15 AM: SDOT has upgraded that to “northbound Battery St. Tunnel closed.”
