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

6:59 AM: Good morning! We start again with alerts and reminders:

WEEKEND VIADUCT CLOSURE REMINDER: Highway 99’s twice-yearly inspection is planned for 6 am-6 pm Saturday and Sunday, and WSDOT’s alert points out the Highway 520 bridge will be closed too, which means I-5 will likely have some challenges through downtown.

ROAD-WORK ALERTS:

–Beach Drive SW, south of 61st SW: Last scheduled day of paving.

–Tomorrow and Friday, paving is planned on 39th SW between SW Oregon and Fauntleroy Way.

—Surface Spokane work east of the low bridge continues.

7:23 AM: Thanks to Gina for also reminding us that this is the rescheduled start date for SDOT’s Admiral Way Safety Project, though, as noted in the rescheduling announcement last week, it’s weather-dependent, so that could slide.

9:22 AM: Another crash at Olson/Cambridge, same general area as Sunday. (Thanks for the text alert!)

No parking on Admiral today. Might be too wet for any work.

WSB October 5, 2016 (7:19 am)

Thanks for that reminder. Will add just in case.

IT’S RAINING! EVERYONE FREAK OUT!!!!!!!

WSB October 5, 2016 (9:36 am)

Generally, people are pretty calm about that, as long as their fellow drivers (etc.) behave too.

Robert October 5, 2016 (9:42 am)

There was a heck of a crash on 35th by the golf course sometime before 6:50 AM when I drove by. Minivan into a phone pole, and it looked pretty bad. I hope everyone was OK.

We saw that on the log when we got going just before 7 this morning but the SFD response, dispatched before 6:30, was closed. It was not a major medical response so no serious injuries that we know of – TR
