    Burst fire hydrant under the 1st Ave Bridge causing water across the road way on south bound Marginal Way.

      It was an absolute lake at 4:30 this morning.  No warning it was there, luckily I was going about 60 so I didn’t get stuck.  Be safe out there .

        That is an early start to the West Marginal 500. Going 60 and made it thru. There is no where anywhere near this area that has a speed limit of 60.

          @ Derp rules for thee not for me!

    So I asked my son if the Burst Fire Hydrant was affecting him?    He said he finally went over there and 20 guys are standing around scratching their heads.  He went over and turned off the Breaker and the water stopped.  Yay!!!!!!!

    Your link to the bridge closure details shows the start date changed to April 20 and 6 am.

      That would be an update since last I checked the link early today – see the editor’s note a ways down the page, they updated today. Thanks for the heads-up!

Sorry, comment time is over.
