UPDATE: Truck trouble at 35th/Alaska

4:59 PM: Thanks to Corey for the tip. A semitruck is having trouble at 35th and Alaska, blocking the eastbound and southbound lanes, but other traffic is getting around.

5:22 PM: Video feed on the SDOT info-map shows southbound traffic is being directed around the stuck truck, too, but avoid the area if you can. (added) Turning traffic from EB Alaska also is getting around the truck, gingerly.

6:15 PM: Still there.

6:49 PM: A tow truck is reported to be on scene now (the video feed shows several vehicles with flashing lights), so this is getting closer to resolution.

7:29 PM: Per texter, and confirmed by video feed, the intersection is now clear.

    As of 6:35pm, still blocked. SPD on scene. Couldn’t see why the truck is stuck, may be a mechanical issue. It didn’t look as if it struck anything or took too sharp a turn

      There appeared to be a possible leak of some kind beneath it, though there’s no SFD callout logged as would usually be the case for a “fuel spill.”

    Truck still there.

    I was passing through at 7 pm on 35th heading north.   I couldn’t take a left on Alaska. Tow truck was on site and someone was sweeping furiously in front of the trailer. It looked dusty. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
