Mt. Si Bridge construction could disrupt travel
Motorists who travel across the Mt. Si Bridge near North Bend should
watch for changing travel conditions over the next several weeks on Mt.
Si Road.
The pavement on the approaches of the old bridge was pulverized last weekend to prepare for demolition, and motorists will be driving on loose gravel for two weeks. Then, in the late afternoon on Monday, July 28 traffic will be switched over to the new bridge and approaches. Crews will still be working on both bridges simultaneously for a while. Motorists are urged to drive with caution through the construction area, and obey the instructions of flaggers. River closure extended
The closure of the Snoqualmie River under the old Tolt Bridge west of
Carnation is being extended through July 31 to give crews more time to
demolish the bridge. The river has been closed to all boats and
recreational users since July 1.
The Seafair festivities are in full swing this week, and that means a
weekend full of street fairs and more than a few traffic disruptions.
Several will result in reroutes for
King County Metro Transit service
over the weekend.
Metro is still providing special service for night and weekend games at Safeco Field to 13 outlying park-and-ride lots. For weekend games, there is special service both to and from the park-and-ride lots. The special service is only available post-game on weekday nights. The fare for special buses is $3 each way. For weekday games, which include a day game against Boston on July 23, there is plenty of regular Metro bus service traveling to and from the stadium area. Use Metro’s convenient online Trip Planner to research which routes provide the best connection from your home or office to the ballpark. See Metro Online for all the Mariners service details. |
