6:03 AM: Good morning! It’s Wednesday, December 28th.

LOW-BRIDGE CLOSURE

SDOT announced Tuesday that the low bridge won’t reopen for at least another two weeks – and they haven’t finalized a repair plan yet.

It’s been out of service since Friday. It’s being kept open to vessel traffic, but unusable for surface traffic.

WEATHER & WATER

The wind alert expired at 1 am as planned, though the wind hadn’t entirely died down by then. Today is expected to be quieter – mostly cloudy, breezy, high in the 40s. … After Tuesday’s weather-enhanced “king tide,” there’s a Coastal Flood Advisory for this morning, but it’s not expected to be a repeat – high tide should be closer to the predicted 12.8 feet at 9:24 am. (UPDATE: This was upgraded to a Coastal Flood Warning.) … One more note: South Park’s flooding-related closures were still in effect as of early today.

TODAY’S TRANSIT STATUS

–Metro is back to a regular schedule today but still down buses for repairs – 12 of the 126 had been fixed by the end of last week – keep watching notification channels such as @kcmetroalerts for trip cancellations and route suspensions.
