*No work, no closures, until after Labor Day, for the Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project.

*For the Admiral Way Bridge seismic project, the north half of the bridge is closed, with one lane each way on the south side; Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge. (Also note the new 39th/Admiral crosswalk.)
