EASTBOUND SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT REOPENS – BUT CLOSES AGAIN NEXT WEEKEND

*The Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project continues. The eastbound SSV reopened last night but will have closures much of the week (NOT tonight) and all next weekend (follow our link for the list).

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.

TUESDAY NIGHT ALERT

*If you’re out Tuesday evening – be mindful of side-street closures for Night Out block parties.
