    This map shows a Saturday AM northbound 1st Ave Bridge lane closure I hadn’t seen on other maps – could affect West Seattleites driving early to the Sounders game

      Thanks, but cameras aren’t showing crews and there are no advisories that I can find on WSDOT channels so far. Perhaps given the problems elsewhere this morning, general advice of “leave plenty early” will be advisable.

        …Found it on this WSDOT map https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/ but again, I’m not seeing any work crews/orange cones/etc. on the cameras for the bridge … if anyone travels that way and does encounter the closures, please update!

    I can confirm the two northbound lane closures on the 1st Avenue Bridge were in place a little after 8am – lots of cones and sandwich boards when you merge from 99.

      Thank you. And thanks to BW for pointing out more WSDOT source material (added now to our beat list).

Sorry, comment time is over.
