On Saturday and Sunday, between 7 AM to 5 PM, we’re updating curb ramps at 16th Ave SW and SW Barton St in Highland Park. We will be working from the parking lanes, but people driving in the area can expect minor delays.

Additionally on Saturday and Sunday, between 7 AM to 5 PM, we’ll be installing traffic signs on southbound SR 99 between S Atlantic S and S Spokane St. During this work, we’ll need to reduce the two travel lanes to a single lane. People driving southbound on SR 99 may experience delays.

On Sunday between 7 AM to 3:30 PM, we’ll be installing speed bump markings in West Seattle at 12th Avenue SW and SW Kenyon St. We expect minimal traffic impacts and people driving will be able to continue around the work zone in both directions.

In South Park, the intersection of S Chicago St and 5th Ave S will be closed on Saturday and Sunday from 6 AM to 4 PM for upgrading the main water line under the street. This work is part of the South Park Drainage and Roadway Partnership, which is a project we are working together on with Seattle Public Utilities to improve chronic flooding and drainage issues in South Park.

7:04 PM: Thanks for the tip – a wire is reported down across West Marginal Way SW south of the Duwamish Longhouse and we’re told traffic is currently blocked both ways.

(Added: Photo by Amanda Simantov)

7:42 PM: This was the result of a crash. Police are calling for tow trucks.

8:11 PM: Officers have just told dispatch that all northbound lanes are reopening, along with one southbound lane. We’re checking with SFD regarding injuries.

11:22 PM: According to SFD spokesperson David Cuerpo, this was a two-vehicle crash, with one hitting a utility pole, bringing down the aforementioned wires. SFD evaluated an 18-year-old woman who turned out not to be hurt; no one else reported injuries, either.

As shown in that live traffic-camera view, the cones are down and the ramp from eastbound Spokane Street/West Seattle Bridge to northbound Highway 99 is open again. The work to fix a hole in the ramp was projected to last up to two weeks – which would have kept it closed until next Monday – but WSDOT just announced this afternoon that it’s done, and Metro has announced that buses that had been detouring through SODO are returning to their regular routes.

7:07 AM: Thanks for the tips. SFD has responded to a vehicle fire in the 900 block of SW Holden. We’re told the vehicle has been moved to the side.
