6:01 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday, November 1st, two days to go until Daylight Saving Time ends (2 am Sunday, we “fall back” one hour, into Standard Time).
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
Showery today, high in the low 50s. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:54 am, while sunset will be at 5:50 pm – second-to-last sunset before the time change.
ROAD WORK
*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project continues; traffic may move from the south half of the bridge to the north half today (depending on the weather). 9:42 AM UPDATE: A reader says the switch is being made right now.
*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.
*Monday alert re: East Marginal:
On Monday, November 4, we will fully close East Marginal Way S between S Spokane St and S Hanford St to install the permanent lane striping on the new sections of the roadway. Access to and from East Marginal Way S from S Horton St and S Hinds St will also be closed. The closure will be in effect from 7 AM to 5 PM.
Routes for people, walking, rolling, and biking will be maintained on E Marginal Way S but may have reroutes to avoid active construction. Please be alert for signage and flaggers directing traffic when traveling through the area.
This work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled due to rain.
