TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Wednesday watch

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

6:34 AM: Good morning! No incidents reported currently in or from West Seattle. Reminders:

BUS-LANE CRACKDOWN THIS MORNING: Today’s the day that SPD plans a bus-lane enforcement operation, 7-9 am.

VIADUCT CLOSURES THIS WEEKEND: The semi-annual inspection of the Alaskan Way Viaduct will shut it down Saturday 6 am-6 pm and possibly also Sunday; that day will begin, separate from the inspection, with a closure north of the Battery Street Tunnel for the Hot Chocolate Run. Full details here.

7:20 AM: One more reminder for tonight – if you’ve got questions about the upcoming Fauntleroy Expressway closures to re-replace earthquake-safety cushions (here’s our most-recent story), a briefing is part of the Southwest District Council meeting tonight, 6:30 pm at the Sisson Building (Senior Center) in The Junction.

7:54 PM: Thanks for the text (206-293-6302 any time)! If you’re noticing SFD at 41st/42nd/Alaska (SDOT cam here), it’s an automatic fire alarm call in the Altamira/QFC/etc. building.

    Brown water in the Admiral district this morning.  Anyone know the cause yet?

    • WSB March 2, 2016 (9:12 am)

      No, but please call SPU ASAP – 206-386-1800 – let us know what they tell you! Could just be hydrant testing – but if it’s a leak/break somewhere, we will pursue more info. – TR

      I also have this (38th and Hanford)…I am waiting a call back from the water inspector to find out what’s up.

        It’s hydrant testing, SPU told someone who e-mailed us. Hopefully you already heard this.

Sorry, comment time is over.
