6:01 AM: Good morning! It’s Monday, September 9 – first day of school for Seattle Public Schools preschoolers and kindergarteners.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
Today’s forecast calls for clouds, then clearing, high around 70. Today’s sunrise will be at 6:39 am, while sunset will be at 7:32 pm.
SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT, AND OTHER ROAD WORK OF NOTE
*Weekend work ended early for the Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project, but more work is ahead – we should get this week’s schedule today.
Other projects:
*For the Admiral Way Bridge seismic project, the north half of the bridge remains closed, with one lane each way on the south side; Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge.
*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).
TRANSIT NOTES
Water Taxi today – Regular schedule for both routes.
Metro buses today – Regular schedules.
