SPOKANE ST. VIADUCT, AND OTHER ROAD WORK OF NOTE

*The Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project has not announced this week’s work schedule yet; we should get an update by afternoon. Note, though, as evidenced last weekend, it’s subject to sudden change.

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, until the project switches sides next month; Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge. We’re awaiting a project-status update

*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.
