TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Thursday updates

(SDOT MAP with travel times/video links; is the ‘low bridge’ closed? LOOK HERE)

6:59 AM: Good morning! No incidents in/from West Seattle so far.

7:38 AM: Still quiet. So we’ll take a moment to look ahead to some transportation-related events tonight:

WEST SEATTLE TRANSPORTATION COALITION: Talking Sound Transit 3 light-rail planning, as previewed here last night, 6:30 pm, Neighborhood House High Point (6900 Sylvan Way SW).

HIGHLAND PARK TRAFFIC TROUBLE SPOTS: They’re part of the route for tonight’s Find It, Fix It Walk, leaving from HP Improvement Club (1116 SW Holden) at 6:30 pm – here’s our preview.

8:20 AM: The relative quiet continues. We’ve heard, however, that the port-truck traffic backup early this morning – long before we got the morning traffic report rolling – was particularly intense. We’ll be working on an update about this – if you have any anecdotes/information to share, editor@westseattleblog.com – thanks!

Accidentally commented on yesterday’s post. Any info on whether the lane is closed on the Michigan/East Marginal southbound ramp from 1st Ave bridge today? Yesterday it caused quite a backup.

If it’s a construction/road work closure, it’s not on the SDOT weekly alert list – I just checked…

  Interesting. It was construction and there were SDOT trucks there. They were digging big holes with backhoes next to all the traffic lights.

Sorry, comment time is over.
