WEATHER

More rain expected – high in the 40s.

ROAD WORK

The outside southbound lane of West Marginal Way north of the Duwamish Longhouse has reopened as planned. So only one ongoing closure remains – the east end of Sylvan Way just west of the Home Depot entrance.

TRANSIT STATUS

Metro buses are on their regular schedules; watch @kcmetroalerts for trip cancellations/reroute alerts.

-The West Seattle Water Taxi is on its fall/winter schedule (still daily, all dayparts, but no late Friday/Saturday runs). No service this Friday for Veterans Day.

-Still a 2-boat schedule for WSF’s Triangle Route (check here for alerts/updates).

SPOTLIGHT CAMERAS

High Bridge – here’s the camera at the top.

High Bridge – the view from its southwest end (if SDOT points the 35th/Avalon/Fauntleroy camera that way).

Low Bridge: Or nearby, depending on where SDOT points the camera.

1st Ave. S. Bridge: The alternate route.

Highway 99: Here’s the northbound side at Lander.

All functional city traffic cams can be seen here, most with video options; West Seattle and vicinity-relevant cameras are also on this WSB page … Are movable city bridges opening for vessels? Check the @SDOTBridges Twitter feed.

    According to the high bridge webcam, there’s either an incident or a lane closure at the off-ramp. 

    Edit to add: according to SDOT Twitter it’s a collision on Eastbound bridge, taking up two lanes.

    Went out late morning yesterday and came back early afternoon. No sign of any filming. Did they actually do any and if so, who was it for?

      According to one commenter, yes. We spent some time twice at the turnaround point (35th/Fauntleroy) and didn’t see them, couldn’t spend any more time waiting.

    5:45am import car was speeding crossing into other lanes/ cars, made it close to 99 before finally spinning/crashing. It was crazy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
