High Bridge – here’s the lone reactivated camera atop the span.

    I noticed when I was going east on the West Seattle Bridge towards Beacon Hill today about 8:30am that there was quite a back up for the exit to I-5 north. Reminded me of the old days of backed up traffic!

      Traffic was light eastbound over the bridge at 9:15AM, the backup to go northbound on I-5 started at the 4th Avenue exit ramp.  Took about 20 minutes to go north past Freeway Park, then smooth sailing to Shoreline after that.  Just like I remember it.

Sorry, comment time is over.
