TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER, ROAD WORK: Wednesday watch
6:03 AM: Good morning! Welcome to Wednesday, December 11th.
WEATHER + SUNRISE/SUNSET TIMES
Mostly cloudy, rain likely returning tonight, high near 50. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:48 am, while sunset will be at 4:17 pm – as early as the sunset gets – Saturday, it starts getting later! (The sunrise gets later too, for the rest of the month.)
TRANSIT
Water Taxi today – Regular service today.
Washington State Ferries today – 2-boat service on the Triangle Route with M/V Issaquah and M/V Cathlamet, plus M/V Sealth as the “ghost boat.” Check here for last-minute changes.
Metro buses today – Regular schedule.
ROAD WORK/CLOSURES
*The Admiral Way Bridge seismic project continues; the south half of the bridge is closed, with one lane each way on the north side. This will change later this month, SDOT has announced:
We’ll be transitioning into our third phase of traffic control on December 19. The two center lanes on Admiral Way SW will be closed during this phase, with one lane in each direction open for people driving. As part of this transition, the temporary crosswalk at Admiral Way SW and 39th Ave SW will be removed.
We expect more info later today. Meantime, Fairmount Avenue remains closed beneath the bridge.
*The Delridge pedestrian-bridge earthquake-safety project also continues, with narrowing at Delridge/Oregon. SDOT finally provided that update, with word of a lane shift, too.
*Beach Drive gas-pipeline work continues into January, PSE tells us – here’s our update.
