TRAFFIC, ROAD WORK, WEATHER, TRANSIT: Friday + weekend info
6:00 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Friday, October 18th.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
Cloudy, rain likely, high in the mid-50s. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:33 am, while sunset will be at 6:14 pm.
ROAD WORK
*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project continues; the north half of the bridge remains closed, with one lane each way on the south side, until the project switches sides around October 28th. Fairmount Avenue remains closed under the bridge.
*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon.
*The south Beach Drive gas-pipeline project continues; we noted work this week in the 6000-6300 blocks, with traffic flagged through flaggers helping alternate directions through a one-lane stretch.
*SDOT says the Spokane Street Viaduct resurfacing project is complete – no more lane closures.
TRANSIT
Washington State Ferries today – 2 boats on the Triangle Route, plus the “unscheduled third boat.” Check for alerts here.
Metro buses today – Regular schedule.
Water Taxi today – Regular schedule. Remember that the fall/winter schedule is in effect now, meaning no late Friday/Saturday runs until spring.
