TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER, ROAD WORK: Post-holiday Friday
6:03 AM: Good morning! It’s Friday, July 5. Not an official four-day holiday weekend, but we’re guessing it will feel a lot like one anyway.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
The heat-advisory alert takes effect at noon; today’s forecast is for sunshine, high in the mid-80s. Today’s sunrise was at 5:18 am, while sunset will be at 9:09 pm.
ROAD WORK
*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project starts Monday; here are more specifics. (Got questions? We’re talking with a project-team member Monday.)
*SDOT’s Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.
*Beach Drive: Gas-pipeline work continues at spots along the southern stretch.
TRANSIT NOTES
Metro today – Back to regular schedule; check for advisories here.
Water Taxi today – Back to regular schedule. Check the real-time map if you need to see where the boat is. It’s Friday, so there are later sailings tonight.
Washington State Ferries today – The usual 2 boats on the Triangle Route, but now with the unscheduled “bonus boat” on weekdays when available; check WSF alerts for last-minute changes and use the real-time map to see where your ferry is.

BRIDGE INFO: The @SDOTBridges feed on X (ex-Twitter) shows whether the city’s movable bridges are open for vessel traffic.
