TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER: Winter-solstice Tuesday

6:03 AM Good morning!

WEATHER

Winter starts at 7:59 am. A mostly cloudy forecast launches the season, with rain likely later.

BUSES, WATER TAXI, FERRIES

Metro is on its regular weekday schedule. Watch @kcmetrobus for word of trip cancellations. (Holiday plans: This Friday, Metro will be on a Sunday schedule; Christmas Day will be a regular Saturday schedule.)

Ferries and Water Taxi: WSF continues a two-boat schedule on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth run. Check here for alerts/updates. The Water Taxi is on its regular schedule. (Holiday plans: No Water Taxi service Friday or Saturday.)

BRIDGES AND DETOUR ROUTES

637th morning without the West Seattle Bridge. Here are views of other bridges and routes:

Low Bridge: Automated enforcement cameras remain in use; restrictions are in effect 5 am-9 pm daily – except weekends; the bridge is open to all until 8 am Saturday and Sunday mornings. (Access applications are available here for some categories of drivers.)

The 1st Avenue South Bridge (map):

South Park Bridge:

West Marginal Way at Highland Park Way (if this cam and the next one are still badly aligned by late morning, we’ll ask SDOT what’s up):

Highland Park Way/Holden:

The 5-way intersection (Spokane/West Marginal/Delridge/Chelan):

Are movable bridges opening for vessels? The @SDOTBridges Twitter feed can tell you; 1st Ave. S. Bridge openings are also tweeted on @wsdot_traffic.

See all local traffic cams here; locally relevant cameras are also on this WSB page.

    WSB. I called in the miss aimed camera’s to SDOT-684-7623 which is also the # for traffic lights. The gal said she’d “pass it on”. Is there a seperate # for cameras??

    It does seem like a long time but has it really been 6378 mornings since the Bridge went out? Thank you for all you do to keep us informed! Please take Christmas off, you’ve earned it…

Sorry, comment time is over.
