6:01 AM: Good morning! It’s Wednesday, August 21.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
Showers possible, thunderstorms possible this evening, high near 70. Today’s sunrise will be at 6:14 am, while sunset will be at 8:09 pm.
SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT CLOSURES, AND OTHER ROAD WORK
The Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project continues. Here’s the tentative plan for the rest of the week – overnight tonight, eastbound left lanes are expected to close 7 pm-6 am, which means the eastbound exits to 1st and 4th would stay open.
*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project is in progress. Fairmount Avenue is closed under the bridge. Next week, the north half of the bridge will close, and the south half will carry traffic both ways temporarily. (That’s what the “Traffic Revision August 26” portable signs are about.)
*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.
*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.
