TRAFFIC ALERTS: Crashes on Alki Avenue, Sylvan Way

Police are at two collision scenes in West Seattle right now:

Thanks to Jan for that photo of the scene of a crash involving three vehicles by the Alki Avenue “flower houses” in the 1300 block [vicinity map]. It’s partly blocking the south/east direction.

Meantime, no photo, but police report both directions of Sylvan Way are blocked at SW Holly [map] because of a crash described as a driver hitting a tree.

SFD has responded to both scenes, though not major responses, so injuries are likely not life-threatening. One person is reportedly being transported to a hospital from the Sylvan Way crash via AMR (private ambulance).

CLOSURE ALERT UPDATE: No more South Park Bridge closures

King County Road Services now says tonight’s South Park Bridge closure is canceled and that the work requiring the bridge closures is complete, so they’re not expecting any more. The recent closures have all been necessary because of the in-water contamination cleanup that resumed earlier this month.

TRAFFIC ALERT: Outside lane blocked by westbound West Seattle Bridge pullout

Thanks to Sage K. for the tip. They saw a “stalled Jeep” blocking the outside lane just before the westbound Walking on Logs pullout, “making things a bit dangerous.” We’ve also just heard a dispatch for what was described as a possible two-vehicle collision in that area. Bottom line, if you know of anyone about to head that way, tell them heads-up at that last curve.

CLOSURE ALERT: Dates set for first South Park Bridge closures during Duwamish River in-water cleanup season

When we mentioned that the second season of in-water Duwamish River cleanup starts tomorrow, we also noted some overnight closures of the South Park Bridge are planned. The first dates have just been finalized:

Upcoming Overnight Closures of South Park Bridge
Nights of October 3, 4, 6, and 7, 2025

This week, the South Park Bridge will be fully closed overnight to vehicle and pedestrian traffic for two nights on Friday, October 3, and Saturday, October 4, ending the morning of October 5. Closures will occur from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Next week, King County Road Services will also close the South Park Bridge to traffic on the following nights: Monday, October 6, and Tuesday, October 7, ending the morning of October 8. If additional dates are needed, the bridge may be closed again at night on October 9, 10, and 11. We will notify the community if these additional dates are needed.

During this time, the bridge will be in the “raised” position to accommodate dredging activities underneath the bridge. Unlike daytime construction, recreational vessels will not be permitted to pass beneath the South Park Bridge during this time.

King County Metro Route 60, which travels over the South Park Bridge, will be rerouted during the hours of the bridge closures. To learn more about the Route 60 reroute, please check Metro’s Service Advisories page. …

You can expect additional South Park Bridge closures later this fall and winter.

Also new in The Junction: Added all-way stop

Note the “all-way” on that stop sign. That’s the new status of Oregon/44th in The Junction. A texter tipped us about it this evening, saying they “almost drove through it” (and we saw someone else do that shortly after we snapped the pic). Many of the added all-way stops recently have been along routes to schools; we’ll check with SDOT tomorrow to see if that’s the rationale for this one (Tilden School [WSB sponsor], Hope Lutheran, and Holy Rosary are within several blocks, and Genesee Hill Elementary is a bit further) or something else.
