SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT AND OTHER ROAD WORK
*Later today, we expect to find out this week’s closure plan for the Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project.
*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project is in progress. Fairmount Avenue is closed under the bridge. And as soon as today,the north half of the bridge will close, so the south half will carry traffic both ways temporarily. (Added: A reader called to say that the closure HAS begun.)
*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.

*The East Marginal Way S. project continues, with a temporary routing change for bicycle riders (explained at that link).
*Beach Drive: Gas-pipeline work continues at spots along the southern stretch. Watch for no-parking zones and steel plates (many on northbound side right now), plus flaggers.
