6:01 AM: Good morning! It’s Thursday, August 1. First day of Blue Angels team practices (see the schedule on the Museum of Flight‘s website) – no freeway closures for that any more. But lots of other things to tell you about:

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Sunny, high in the low 80s, breezy. Today’s sunrise was at 5:47 am, while sunset will be at 8:42 pm.

ROAD WORK

*The Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project continues. Tonight’s closure plan: Full eastbound closure, 7 pm-6 am. (EB bridge exit to NB 99 will remain open.)

*As we’ve been reporting, 10 new speed cushions/humps are set for Alki/Harbor Avenues and 56th SW, which is where we took the photo above – note those are speed humps, without midbreaks.

*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. But SDOT now says it will NOT have weekend closures of the entire bridge.

*The 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.

*Highway 99 tunnel closure 10 pm Friday-6 am Saturday for maintenance.
