Traffic alerts next week: Highway 99 closures Fri. night/Sat. morning

Looking at the week ahead, there’s one major road closure likely to affect people going to/from West Seattle – next Friday night/Saturday morning (August 16th-17th), Highway 99 will be closed both ways between the West Seattle Bridge and the stadium area for lane-shifting. The northbound closure is scheduled for 10 pm Friday to 8 am Saturday; the southbound closure, from 10 pm Friday to noon Saturday. (We’ll include reminders in our weekday traffic/transit-tracking reports as the week goes on.)

    Isn’t the northbound on-ramp to I-5 from the West Seattle bridge also closed?

      Bee: That’s been pushed back to the following weekend, August 26-29.

    So if there are no traffic issues, why is there a chopper hanging out near the bridge?

    It’s ruining my summertime sleep in record. ;)
