    The 1st Ave bridge is backed up earlier than usual.

    The back up today on the WS bridge at 0730 this morning was the worse I have seen in years, Fauntleroy backed up to Alaska, people heading for the lower bridge helped with that. 35th AVE heading to WS bridge was backed up almost to Holden, including most of the short cuts.  I was going to Burien instead of Sodo, 509 N was backed worse than usual. SO, it was quite the mess.

      There was a wreck on the bridge around 7 am…that probably caused the intense back up.  

Sorry, comment time is over.
