ROAD WORK, TRAFFIC, WEATHER: Friday watch

6:07 AM: Good morning! Rainy, breezy forecast for today.

ROAD WORK UPDATES

West Marginal – Sidewalk work on the west side of the street, north of the Duwamish Tribe Longhouse, starts this weekend – here are the details.

Delridge project – Delridge/Orchard work continues, and other sites, including paving on the far-north end of Delridge starting next week.

35th/GrahamWork continues to remake this intersection, including a signal.

SW Yancy east of Avalon – This closure has been extended.

TRANSIT

The West Seattle Water Taxi is on its spring/summer schedule – all day, 7 days a week, plus Friday and Saturday evenings.

Metro has increased the number of passengers allowed on buses. And now it’s rehiring laid-off drivers.

BRIDGES AND DETOUR ROUTES

403rd morning without the West Seattle Bridge. Here’s how it’s looking on other bridges and routes:

Low Bridge: 16th week for automated enforcement cameras; restrictions are in effect 5 am-9 pm daily – except weekends, when the bridge is now open to all until 8 am Saturday and Sunday mornings. (Access applications are now available for some categories of drivers.)

Here’s a low-bridge view:

West Marginal Way at Highland Park Way:

Highland Park Way/Holden:

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

And the 1st Avenue South Bridge (map):

For the South Park Bridge (map), here’s the nearest camera:

    It would be nice to see that Highland Park camera adjusted to actually capture the traffic on the road, not the (usually empty) intersection.

      That intersection will get better communication infrastructure enabling a better camera system later this year.

    Two bus drivers without masks on today. Is that the new policy for vaccinated drivers?

      Don’t think so. Please file a complaint with Metro.

Sorry, comment time is over.
