Showery, breezy, high in the mid-50s. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:25 am, while sunset will be at 4:25 pm. (Just eight minutes past what will be the earliest sunset of the year. We’ll be headed back the other way even before winter solstice.)

ROAD WORK

*California water-break hole near the Admiral Theater is supposed to get fixed today, so watch out for city utility trucks in that area.

*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project continues; the south half of the bridge is closed, with one lane each way on the north side. Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge.

*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.

SPOTLIGHT TRAFFIC CAMERAS

High Bridge – Here’s the main camera, followed by the Fauntleroy-end camera:

Spokane Street Viaduct – This view usually looks westward, with eastbound lanes at left and westbound lanes at right:

Low Bridge – Looking west:

Delridge cameras: Besides the one below (Delridge/Genesee), cameras are also at Delridge/Juneau, Delridge/Henderson, Delridge/Oregon, and video-only (so you have to go to the map), Delridge/Holden and Delridge/Thistle.

MORE TRAFFIC CAMS: All functioning traffic cams citywide are here; West Seattle and vicinity-relevant cameras are on this WSB page.

If you see a problem on the bridges/streets/paths/water, please text or call our hotline (when you can do that safely, and after you’ve reported to authorities if they’re not already on scene) – 206-293-6302. Thank you!

1:32 PM: Thanks for the tip. Another big incident being dispatched right now – a water-main break reported in the Admiral District, on California near College. Water’s reported to be coming up from the covers on both sides of the road. We’re on the way to check it out.

1:48 PM: Still on the way but hearing emergency responders say that while the water’s shut off, there are two big holes “in front of the Admiral Theater” that will have to be filled.

(WSB photo)

2 PM: Here now, adding photo. It’s really mainly the one hole you see in our photo. A Seattle Public Utilities crew member told us they got here fast to shut off the break but likely won’t be able to fill the hole until tomorrow – both sides of the street are lined with parked cars that will have to get out of the way. (That’s why you’ll see “no parking” signs in the area.) If you’re anywhere nearby, remember that sometimes service disturbances like this lead to discolored water. No traffic effects right now except that an SPU truck is parked in the center lane.

6:02 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Thursday, November 21.

WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES

Showery, high in the upper 40s. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:24 am, while sunset will be at 4:26 pm.

9:41 AM: Westbound Fauntleroy is blocked at 42nd SW in Morgan Junction because of a crash reported as a driver hitting a pedestrian. No word yet on how seriously the person is hurt. Per radio exchanges, the crash was reported by the driver.

10:42 AM: Emergency responders are headed toward what might be two separate crashes toward the end of the westbound West Seattle Bridge – one pickup truck reported to have hit a pole, another reported to have hit the median. If you’re headed this way, you might consider an alternate route, or exiting the bridge before you get to the last stretch.

10:45 AM: No injuries reported so far. But this may affect eastbound traffic too, which will have to be blocked off to reset the median barrier – an SDOT crew is being summoned for that.

11:18 AM: Currently “one lane blocked eastbound and one blocked westbound,” police have told dispatch. And eastbound will be fully closed eastbound shortly for the barrier reset.

11:40 AM: Fully open again both ways.

6:01 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Thursday, November 14.

Thanks for the tips and photo. A car wound up on the Admiral/Olga embankment a few hours ago and police are blocking bridge-bound traffic on the curve as they work to get it unstuck. So far as we can tell from the logs, no one was hurt in the original incident.

8:55 AM: Jay texted to say the Delridge onramp to the bridge is suffering from its “standard flooding” and there’s a backup on Delridge as a result.

8:14 AM: Three-vehicle collision at 2nd/Olson, blocking northbound on Olson per dispatch.

6:48 AM: If you’re using West Marginal Way, a caller tells us her vehicle is broken down, with flashers on, on the southbound side in the 4700 block (near the Duwamish Longhouse), and she wants people to take care going past while she awaits a tow.

Passengers aboard a RapidRide C-Line bus are reporting possible injuries after a collision at 35th/Avalon, No visual so far but police say they’re blocking eastbound Avalon at the scene, and they’re looking for a hit-run driver who might have caused the crash, possibly after leaving an apartment/condo garage nearby.

4:24 PM: Thanks for the tips. The West Seattle low bridge is malfunctioning again; one reader who’s been waiting says they were told it could be a “few minutes or few hours” – the gates aren’t working. So use an alternate route for now (we know, easier said than done if you’re using human-powered transportation).

6:14 PM: Still not fixed, after more than two hours.

8:43 PM: Just checked the camera for the first time in a while. The bridge is back in service. We’ll follow up with SDOT.
