West Seattle low-bridge still closed to drivers, and other traffic/transit/weather info for Tuesday

6:50 AM: Texter says 35th/Roxbury signal is malfunctioning.

Earlier:

6:01 AM: We start again with the reminder that the West Seattle low bridge remains closed to drivers (but open to people riding bicycles or walking/running/rolling):

SDOT says it’ll be closed at least several more days for repair of “severe” crash damage to the gate and barrier at the edge of the east half of the low bridge (here’s our coverage of Saturday’s crash). Here’s the latest on the repairs.

    35th and Roxbury signal still out. Please people, follow the rules – it’s an all way stop! They have school staffers helping kids cross since nobody can figure this out!
