TRANSIT NOTES, WITH REDUCED WATER TAXI SERVICE
Water Taxi today – With two boats out, Metro is planning a “hybrid” schedule today so that one boat (M/V Doc Maynard) can serve both West Seattle and Vashon Island. See that schedule here.
Metro buses – Regular schedules; check for advisories here.
Washington State Ferries today – 2 boats on the Triangle Route, and the unscheduled third boat may be available. Check that link before you sail.
EASTBOUND SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT’S NEWEST CLOSURE SCHEDULE
*The Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project continues. Here’s the newest closure schedule, including some eastbound lane closures tonight (and the entire eastbound direction closes again next weekend).
OTHER ROAD WORK NOTES
*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project is in progress. Fairmount Avenue is closed under the bridge for the duration of the project, at least into early 2025. Lane closures have begun on the top deck too. 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.
TONIGHT – NIGHT OUT ALERT
*If you’re out tonight – be mindful of side-street closures for Night Out block parties.
