ROAD WORK

*Delridge project: The SW Oregon closure is set to start early today, continuing until early Monday. Here’s this week’s bulletin, with word on where else work is happening.

*Trail work – As announced Thursday, “SDOT will be performing maintenance on the Alki Trail near the Chelan Café. Crews will be trimming trees and other vegetation that is encroaching the trail. Work will begin in the early morning and continue throughout the afternoon.” This will affect the trail west of the café and might also take up the outside westbound vehicle lane at times.

*West Marginal Way/Highland Park Way: Restriping to rechannelize part of the intersection is scheduled for Sunday. Later today, we expect traffic-impact info and other specifics.
