6:10 AM: Good morning, Make plans not to get overheated – today and tomorrow are expected to be the hottest days of this heat wave (91 was the Wednesday high).

ROAD WORK

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 – Here’s where crews are working this week.

SW Genesee – Metro says Route 50 will be rerouted off Genesee west of Delridge Friday-Sunday for “construction,” so that means a road closure (we’re investigating).

CLOSURE

SW Andover pedestrian/bicycle overpass – The new “closed” signs were explained by SDOT on Wednesday as related to “trespassing” problems and neighborhood concerns.
