    Something going on this morning?  Traffic headed towards the 5-way intersection below the bridge is really backed up.  One of the large trucks from Nucor was stuck at the Delridge light for 4 light cycles because it had no-where to go.

      Morning traffic in that area has gotten worse over the past month.

    Funny thing about our traffic problem at Highland and West Marginal.  The 7:30-9 AM outgoing trip from Highland/West Marginal to 1st Ave bridge takes 40 minutes. But the 4:30-6 PM trip from 1st Ave  to Highland/ West Marginal takes about 15 minutes. Still a lot of cars at both times of day.

Sorry, comment time is over.
