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

6:01 AM: Good morning; welcome to Friday, June 10th.

WEATHER

Rain is expected again at times today, with a warmer high, maybe back into the 70s.

ROAD WORK, TODAY + THE WEEKEND

Today – Seattle Public Utilities‘ pavement-restoration work at California/Myrtle continues.

This weekend – Three advisories from SDOT:

Saturday afternoon between noon and 5 PM, we’ll be striping travel lanes at 17th and SW Henderson St. We’ll be extending two crosswalks, installing bike markings, and painting barriers in addition to sign work. Please anticipate short-term traffic delays as you navigate the area.

On Saturday and Sunday, we’ll be working on a walkway extension on Sylvan Way SW between SW Holly St and Sylvan Heights Dr. This work is scheduled to begin as early as 7 AM through 5 PM on both days. Our trucks will be entering and exiting the roadway as we complete this work. Please anticipate slowdowns in the area.

On Sunday, we will be doing some maintenance work on Dumar Way SW and SW Orchard St. We will begin this work as early as 8 AM and conclude by 4 PM. There will be minimal traffic impacts; however, you may see our crews in the area.

    10AM ~ None of the traffic cameras for West Seattle are working??Totally rely on these images to decide the most time and fuel efficient route for getting on and off this “accidental island”!

      Might have been a short glitch – they’re all showing now.

    Have you tried the WSDOT app on your phone?  The color coded real time Traffic Map that comes with it can be very useful for plotting courses.

Sorry, comment time is over.
