Welcome to the weekend! We start with (updated) three travel alerts:

1ST AVENUE SOUTH BRIDGE: WSDOT is closing two northbound lanes of the bridge 6 am-noon today and tomorrow for grid-deck work.

WEST MARGINAL PAVEMENT REPAIR: The road surface around those old tracks north of the Duwamish Longhouse is going to be fixed, with city crews working 8 am-3:30 pm each day this weekend and next and possibly the weekend after that.

(added) CITY LIGHT WORK: Headed eastbound in the Roxbury corridor late this morning, we noticed City Light crews blocking the outside SB/WB lane of 1st Ave. S./Olson (uphill from the 509 ramps). Unannounced work but there have been longterm streetlight outages there; we’ll check with SCL on Monday.
