ROAD WORK, TRANSIT, TRAFFIC: Last Monday of 2020

6:12 AM: It’s Monday, December 28th, the 280th morning without the West Seattle Bridge. Another cold night, so beware of frosty streets, paths, windshields.

ROAD (ETC.) WORK

Delridge project: SDOT’s contractor expects to have “full crews” back on the job today. Here’s the plan for the week. No work planned Friday (New Year’s Day).

TRANSIT

Metro – Regular schedule today through Thursday.

Water Taxi – Regular schedule today through Thursday.

CHECK TRAFFIC BEFORE YOU GO

West Marginal Way/Highland Park Way:

Highland Park Way/Holden:

The 5-way intersection (Spokane/West Marginal/Delridge/Chelan):

Restricted-daytime-access (open to all 9 pm-5 am) low bridge:

The main detour route across the Duwamish River, the 1st Avenue South Bridge (map) . Here are two cameras:

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

Going through South Park? Don’t speed. (Same goes for the other detour-route neighborhoods, like Highland Park, Riverview, and South Delridge.)

To check for bridges’ marine-traffic openings, see the @SDOTBridges Twitter feed.

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

    Is this the normal position for this camera “West Marginal Way/Highland Park Way:” as it seems to cover a smaller area than before?The 5-way intersection (Spokane/West Marginal/Delridge/Chelan):”-cobweb?

      We don’t have any control over where the camera’s pointing – hopefully SDOT control will notice eventually and reposition.

    Gill. Have you called SDOT to report it?

Sorry, comment time is over.
