ROAD CLOSURES, TRAFFIC, TRANSIT: Friday watch, 21st week of West Seattle Bridge closure

6:12 AM: It’s Friday, the 144th morning without the West Seattle Bridge.

ROAD WORK/CLOSURES

*Starting at 9 am today – as part of the major Delridge road work to get ready for the RapidRide H Line – SW Genesee is scheduled to close between 25th and Delridge again through the weekend. Here’s the Metro Route 50 reroute plan.

*Also this weekend – more pavement repair in The Junction will close 44th SW between Alaska and Edmunds, Saturday and much of Sunday. Check here for bus reroutes.

    WSB. Any word from SDOT if camera’s will be added to W Marginal?

      Good morning. They’ve long since said there are no plans for new cameras anywhere in the foreseeable future beyond the six added a few months ago.

Sorry, comment time is over.
