TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER: Monday begins

6:03 AM: Good morning! It’s Monday, January 9th.

LOW-BRIDGE CLOSURE

This is the 18th day the low bridge has been closed to surface traffic.

Last night, SDOT removed a leaky cylinder – and now they’ll be able to estimate how much longer the bridge will be out of service for street and path users.

WEATHER

Rainy, breezy, high in the upper 40s.

TODAY’S TRANSIT STATUS

Reminder that while the low bridge is out of service for surface traffic, free Metro/Water Taxi rides are available via an app.

–Metro is on a regular schedule today but still down buses for repairs – keep watching notification channels such as @kcmetroalerts for trip cancellations and route suspensions.

-The West Seattle Water Taxi is on its regular schedule.

-WSF’s Triangle Route remains on its two-boat schedule- check here for alerts/updates.
