TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Monday watch; bridge crash

(Click any view for a close-up; more cameras on the WSB Traffic page)

6:30 AM: Good morning! No incidents in/from West Seattle reported so far this morning.

LOOKING AHEAD: No scheduled closures to preview for the week, so far, but we’re noting that it’ll be darker this time *next* Monday (but lighter in the evening) because Daylight Saving Time starts at 2 am Sunday.

6:39 AM: Thanks to the texter (206-293-6302 if you’re a passenger) who just reported a crash on the eastbound bridge: “Two cars rear-ended each other in the middle lane right after the top of the bridge.” Now seeing that SFD has been dispatched too.

6:47 AM: No injuries, so the SFD units have already cleared from the scene.

7:09 AM: SDOT says it’s not seeing the crash aftermath and “volumes appear normal” for this time of the morning.

8:30 AM: No incidents reported since then, but it’s a sluggish morning overall around the region, according to the citywide traffic reporters, so be aware of that.

Accident now at the high rise

Just added that right before your comment- thank you. Reported literally two minutes after we opened today’s traffic report …

Must’ve resolved quickly. Thank you! No troubles when I went through there at 7am.

The mid-span bridge cam is showing a vehicle on shoulder with front end damage and police behind it. Looks like it maybe took the turn too sharp on the wet road and slide into the barrier.
