ROAD WORK
-SDOT says Admiral Way Bridge work should be almost wrapped up this week, meaning Fairmount Avenue beneath the bridge will reopen.
-WSDOT says tunnel-texture work has shifted to southbound 99:
All southbound SR 99 lanes through the tunnel will close from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly Monday, Aug. 25, through Thursday morning, Aug. 28, for texturing the driving surface. All southbound SR 99 traffic will need to exit to Denny Way. The Sixth Avenue North on-ramp to southbound SR 99 and the right lane of southbound SR 99 will close an hour earlier at 10 p.m. A signed detour around the tunnel closure will use city streets and southbound I-5.
