TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Friday watch, with closure and crane reminders

(SDOT MAP with travel times/ Is the ‘low bridge’ closed? LOOK HERE/ West Seattle-relevant traffic cams HERE)

6:52 AM: Good morning.

AVALON/35TH INTERSECTION CLOSURE: Starts at 9 am today, could last until early Monday (the first one, however, ended early, so we’ll be checking progress by Sunday pm). Find Metro changes here – for routes 21, 50 and 55, the RapidRide C Line, and the West Seattle Water Taxi Shuttle Route 773.

TOWER CRANE INSTALLATION: This was scheduled to have started early today – tower-crane installation for the 4722 Fauntleroy/4721 38th SW project; developers says staging is planned on the east side of the site, NOT on Fauntleroy.

Is everyone working from home today?! What happened to the traffic? My 7.58 am 116 Express was actually at the Pioneer Square Link station at 8.30 am instead of still stuck by Trader Joe’s! :D It was like the good old days before viaduct removal!

Traffic is always lighter on Fridays in the morning because as you mention, many don’t go to work. Friday afternoon traffic is always the worst though.

Sorry, comment time is over.
