ROAD WORK

*No word yet from SDOT regarding any possible lane closures this week for the Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project.

*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project continues; the north half of the bridge remains closed, with one lane each way on the south side, until the project switches sides later this month. Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge.

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

*Early warning – the Highway 99 tunnel will close for maintenance and inspections 10 pm Friday to 6 am Saturday (and again the following weekend, for longer – 10 pm October 11 to 6 am October 13).

    On the 720am 56 bus from admiral to downtown, something happened to the bridge they are working on. It is blocked off eastbound and fire trucks arriving now.
