NO SCHOOL
Most students are out of school today because of a staff in-service day.
ROAD WORK
*The Highway 99 tunnel will close for maintenance and inspections 10 pm tonight to 6 am Sunday – as its first “six-year inspection” is completed (explained here).
*That’s just one of several major closures around the region this weekend – the others are further from West Seattle, but you might still need to know, so here’s the full list.
*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, exact date TBA. Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge.
*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.
