6:10 AM: Good morning. Heat and smoke alerts continue – with a high in the 90s again today.
ROAD WORK
SW Genesee west of Delridge – We stil don’t have details on this closure but Metro is rerouting Route 50 today through Sunday, so we’re assuming drivers will be affected too. (10:05 AM – Thanks to the commenters for confirming the closure. SDOT has subsequently told us this is for the nearby private developer to restore the road.)
26th SW, north – Neighborhood Greenway striping is happening overnight this week, SDOT says.
26th SW, south – Closed northbound between Roxbury and Barton, for repaving to handle more RapidRide buses.
Delridge project – Pending the weekly update later today, here’s where crews are working this week.
Highland Park Way/West Marginal – SDOT says intersection work continues this weekend, 3 am-1 pm both days. Here again is SDOT’s graphic showing what they’re doing:
CLOSURE
SW Andover pedestrian/bicycle overpass – This remains closed, explained by SDOT as related to “trespassing” problems and neighborhood concerns in advance of the fall seismic-retrofit project.
TRANSIT
Buses are on regular schedules – except for the South Delridge and 26th rerouting. Watch @kcmetrobus for word of bus cancellations.
For ferries and water taxis, regular schedule. Watch @wsferries for updates.
