CHECK THE TRAFFIC BEFORE YOU GO

Here’s the 5-way intersection camera (Spokane/West Marginal/Delridge/Chelan):

Here’s the restricted-daytime-access (open to all 9 pm-5 am) low bridge:

The main detour route across the Duwamish River is the 1st Avenue South Bridge (map) . Here’s that camera:

The other major bridge across the river is the South Park Bridge (map). The camera is back:

Going through South Park? Don’t speed.

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

Just in case anyone doesn’t know, the low bridge is an unofficial free-for-all the second the cops go away. Hope they get the cameras set up soon!

Last night at 8:14 a private ambulance was trying to cross the Chelan intersection from the lower bridge in the westbound direction. It was caught behind a line of cars that illegally drove over the bridge before 9:00 pm. It could not go around the line because cars were driving eastbound onto the bridge from Delridge and Chelan.

  Ugh. This is terrible but should shock nobody–well, except for MJ and a few others who repeatedly claims emergency vehicles should have no trouble at all navigating through traffic.
  
  I more and more just want to go be a hermit somewhere. I’d miss people, though.

So how does SDOT plan on diverting traffic off of harbor Island once they decide to start construction on the upper bridge the only way off of harbor Island is directly under the upper bridge

Sorry, comment time is over.
