TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER, ROAD WORK: Wednesday notes; bridge cams back

6:00 AM: Good morning! It’s Wednesday, July 24.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Sunny today, high in the mid-70s. Today’s sunrise was at 5:37 am, while sunset will be at 8:53 pm.

TRANSIT NOTES, WITH METRO FLEX

Metro Flex – Third day for this on-demand service in Delridge, starting a two-year pilot. Here’s how it works.

Metro buses – Regular schedules; check for advisories here.

Water Taxi today – Regular schedule. Check the real-time map if you need to see where the boat is.

Washington State Ferries today – 2 boats on the Triangle Route, and the unscheduled third boat may be back. Check that link before you sail.

ROAD WORK

*The Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project is about to start, first with overnight lane closures, then with several all-weekend one-direction closures. Here’s the announcement.

*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project is in progress. Fairmount Avenue is closed under the bridge for the duration of the project, likely into early 2025.

*SDOT’s Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.

*Beach Drive: Gas-pipeline work continues at spots along the southern stretch.

    Tfw you watch two cars full-on run a red on Fauntleroy… and the driver that stopped is holding an eyelash curler in one eye.

Sorry, comment time is over.
