ROAD WORK, TRANSIT, TRAFFIC: Tuesday 10/6 watch

6:21 AM: Welcome to Tuesday – the 197th morning without the West Seattle Bridge.

ROAD WORK

*Delridge project: SW Oregon will close again at Delridge this Friday-Sunday. Lots of other project-related news here.

*Olson/1st repaving: This will conclude Saturday and Sunday, with this alert: “Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction during paving. Work will start in the early morning hours to open the travel lanes back up in the early afternoon both days. A noise variance will be issued to complete the paving.”

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 are two cameras:

The other major bridge across the river is the South Park Bridge (map). Here’s the nearest camera:

Going through South Park? Don’t speed.

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.

    Tried to get to Harbor Isl. from I5 late morning-couldn’t. Container semi’s were backed up from Harbor Isl. BUMPER TO BUMPER all the way to I5. Hopefully no emergency vehicles had to get through-they would have been STUCK!

     I’m guessing that once term 5 opens these scenes will be more common. Today was the worst i’ve seen/heard of as the trucks were impacting n & s I5 and 99. Can only imagine what it will look like once everything opens up and term 5 is up and running. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
