6:59 AM: Blustery Friday morning! Here are the reminders and alerts:

WEEKEND VIADUCT CLOSURE: 6 am-6 pm Saturday and Sunday, West Seattle Bridge to Battery Street Tunnel plus a Saturday closure north of the BST, and the Highway 520 bridge will be closed too.

ALERTS:

—Admiral Way Safety Project work will extend beyond today because of the weather, SDOT says, in reminding people to keep heeding the no-parking signs.

We’ll be checking on other projects, as we did yesterday.

–Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth state-ferry riders should be aware that the smaller Tillikum has replaced the Kitsap, which had to be moved to another route in a domino effect from a ferry problem on the Bainbridge run. Thanks to Gary Dawson (ferry-issues point person for the Fauntleroy Community Association) for the heads-up.

7:15 AM: SFD has a crash call at 1st Ave. S/Spokane.

Lower level bridge appears to be closed long term due to another malfunction. I saw no boat traffic in around 20 mins.

Thanks – checking on it. I see @sdotbridges noting the bridge open at 5:18 but no close, and we’re going on an hour. (Added) However – looking at the camera that shows the low bridge, atop this story, it does appear cars are crossing.

Sorry, comment time is over.
