ROAD WORK/TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Tuesday notes, 13th week of West Seattle Bridge closure

6:07 AM: Good morning – the 85th morning without the high-rise West Seattle Bridge.

ROAD WORK

The Delridge Way repaving-and-more project continues – here’s what’s happening this week.

TRAFFIC

Heading off-peninsula? First, the cameras for the 5-way intersection, and the restricted-access low bridge just east of it:

The main detour route across the Duwamish River is the 1st Avenue South Bridge (map) – which has up to 14 overnight closures planned next month. Meanwhile, here’s that camera:

The other major bridge across the river is the South Park Bridge (map) – this camera shows the SP-side approach:

Check the @SDOTBridges Twitter feed for info about any of those bridges opening for marine traffic.

You can see all local traffic cams here; locally relevant cameras are also shown on this WSB page.

TRANSIT

Metro – Check the Twitter feed for any breaking service changes. Otherwise – still on the reduced schedule and reduced capacity; check here for next departure. Note that Metro service will increase next Monday, June 22nd.

Water TaxiReduced schedule continues until next Monday.

      In the beginning of this video they show footage of an engineer from a consulting firm that the city was considering hiring called Kramer, someone & someone else. Isn’t the current consulting firm called Kramer something? Because somebody made a Seinfeld reference about the name  “Kramerica” !!  Which was really funny But now I’m asking is the city hiring the same consulting firm that built this wasteland of a bridge…Is that even possible ?

    Any idea who I should contact about resetting the lights at 35th and Fauntleroy?  At the beginning of the bridge closure they had the north-south lights always green except when someone pushed the crosswalk buttons.  This past week I noticed the northbound lights go red for no reason, I believe the southbound do stay green but the left turn arrow pops up which may be the cause.
