TRAFFIC ALERT: Battery St. Tunnel reopens

8:59 AM: If you’re heading out of West Seattle, take note that you won’t be able to get past Seneca Street on NB 99 for a while: There’s a crash at Western, and the Battery Street Tunnel has been closed both ways because of “weather conditions,” according to SPD. We’ll update when this changes.

9:28 AM: No ETA yet for when this will be cleared, so if you have to head north, avoid the Viaduct/Highway 99. Here’s the closest SDOT camera – refresh our page to see the newest image:

10:06 AM: The tunnel has reopened.

    Funny. The SDOT feed has info about the closure while the WSDOT feed says only “right lane closed.” Nice coordination.

      SDOT is accountable for the Viaduct, though it’s a state road.

Sorry, comment time is over.
