TRAFFIC, ROAD WORK, TRANSIT, WEATHER: Friday watch + weekend alert

6:03 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday.

WEATHER

Another cloudy forecast for today, high in the mid-to-upper 40s.

ROAD WORK – TODAY AND TOMORROW

16th SW repaving – As previewed last night, SDOT plans to repave 16th SW between Barton and Cambridge today, 7 am-3:30 pm, with one lane open each way during the work.

West Marginal/Highland Park Way signal work – Also from SDOT:

On Saturday, at the Highland Park Way SW and West Marginal Way SW intersection, we’ll be working to replace the signal cabinet, which houses the signal control equipment at the intersection. During this work, we’ll need to turn off the signal for a period of time. We’ll have someone directing traffic at the intersection to make sure traffic is moving efficiently during this work. We’ll start as early as 5 am and expect to be done by 1 pm on Saturday.

TERMINAL 5

Biggest ship yet is in today – MSC Virgo. We’ll be at T-5 for a closer look.
