Traffic alert: Highway 99 closure, detours later this week

Just in from WSDOT:

Drivers should expect delays and detours on northbound and southbound SR 99 in SODO starting on Thursday, July 15, and ending on Friday, July 16. Crews will close all lanes to install a sign bridge over both directions of SR 99. The new sign bridge will support two electronic message boards.

Thursday, July 15 – morning of Friday, July 16
· All lanes of northbound and southbound SR 99 at S. Lander Street will be closed from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.

DETOURS
Northbound:

Trucks: East Marginal Way S., to Alaskan Way S. to S. Atlantic Street, to First Avenue S., to northbound SR 99.
General traffic: First Avenue S. at the First Avenue S. Bridge, to the northbound SR 99 on-ramp near the stadiums.

Southbound:
Trucks: First Avenue S. off-ramp, to S. Royal Brougham Way, to East Marginal Way S., to southbound SR 99.
General traffic: First Avenue S. off-ramp, to southbound SR 99 at the First Avenue S. Bridge.

(Addendum from WSDOT: Eastbound West Seattle Bridge offramp to northbound 99 also will be closed)

This work is part of the SR 99 Intelligent Transportation Systems project.

And remember that next Monday night, 9 pm, is the start of the up-to-six-weeks, round-the-clock closure of one lane on the eastbound West Seattle Bridge east of 99, between 1st and 4th Avenues, to connect the new 4th Ave. So. offramp.

    Thanks! Glad I saw this because I was thinking of heading up to the Greenlake area tomorrow. NOt happening now!

    editing here: Oh wait, that says 10pm to 5am. That shouldn’t effect my commute, right?

      Not unless you’re driving in the middle of the night.

    Going to work downtown next week will be a nightmare! It’ll probably be backed up down Admiral to Alki!

Sorry, comment time is over.
