Drove westbound WSB at 7:15pm tonight-all ways open with no sign of preparing for a closure. did work get canceled tonight?

All I can tell you is, this is the schedule the project spokesperson gave me today (and they put it on the project website too at some point after my inquiry this morning). They noted, which is why I noted, that it can be subject to last-minute change. This is the newest still frame from the “live” camera (you can see the actual live video via https://web.seattle.gov/Travelers – unfortunately they’ve never enabled embedding or direct linking for the live video cameras ) – I’ll watch it through the night and will add a caveat to this if nothing is in view after a while longer!
