BRIDGES AND DETOUR ROUTES
593rd morning without the West Seattle Bridge. Here are views of other bridges and routes:
Low Bridge: After its two-hour closure Wednesday morning, it had trouble again Wednesday night, but so far that’s only supposed to affect maritime traffic.
Meantime – automated enforcement cameras remain in use; restrictions are in effect 5 am-9 pm daily – except weekends; the bridge is open to all until 8 am Saturday and Sunday mornings. (Access applications are available here for some categories of drivers.)
The 1st Avenue South Bridge (map):
South Park Bridge:
West Marginal Way at Highland Park Way:
Highland Park Way/Holden:
The 5-way intersection (Spokane/West Marginal/Delridge/Chelan):
Are movable bridges opening for boats or barges? The @SDOTBridges Twitter feed is working again; 1st Ave. South Bridge openings are also tweeted on @wsdot_traffic.
See all local traffic cams here; locally relevant cameras are also on this WSB page.
ROAD WORK

15th SW: Still closed at Roxbury, on the south side of the intersection.
Admiral Way: Crews have been working on the stairway on the downhill slope, just before the Avalon cutoff.
BUSES, WATER TAXI, FERRIES
