TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, ROAD WORK, WEATHER: Thursday notes

6:03 AM: Good morning. It’s Thursday, December 14.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Damp morning, forecast says, then cloudy, high in the upper 40s. Sunrise today is at 7:50 am; sunset, 4:17 pm. Speaking of sunrise, here’s one more view of Wednesday’s incredible sunrise colors – this time with Mount Rainier, as photographed from the Vashon-Fauntleroy ferry by Kate:

ROAD WORK

Pavement work means continuing restrictions on 26th SW between Roxbury and Barton again today. Metro is still rerouting buses off that stretch.

TRANSIT TODAY

Metro – Aside from the aforementioned rerouting, it’s a regular schedule today; check advisories here.

Water TaxiRegular schedule today. Watch the real-time map if wondering where the boat is.

Washington State Ferries – 2-boat service on the Triangle Route. Check alerts for changes, and use the real-time map to see where your ferry is.

Delridge cameras: Besides the one below (Delridge/Orchard), cameras are also at Delridge/Genesee, Delridge/Juneau, Delridge/Henderson, and Delridge/Oregon.

    Wow!  What a stunning photo Kate!  Thanks for sharing!  That would make a beautiful panoramic print – especially as a metal print.

    They resurfaced 26th between Barton and Roxbury!!! really? , Hopefully SDOT made the original contractor pay for this.

      Whatever it is, it’s not an SDOT job – they didn’t know anything about it when I asked. I suspect it’s related to RapidRide H.

Sorry, comment time is over.
