Seattle work pinches I-5 down to two lanes

The News Tribune
August 17th, 2007


The traffic situation on northbound Interstate 5 should
tighten today after crews moved traffic barriers overnight
to allow only two lanes of travel. Crews working on the I-5
construction project in Seattle began the shift late Thursday.
A rolling slowdown of at least half an hour was expected
sometime after 1 a.m. today as workers moved the barriers.

Drivers in the far right lane will be diverted onto the
collector-distributor roadway, which provides access to off-
ramps to I-90, Dearborn Avenue, James Street and Madison Street,
but later reconnects with the I-5 mainline, the state Department
of Transportation said in a news release.

"Right-lane drivers can help keep traffic moving if they know
they are not leaving I-5," said regional administrator Lorena Eng.

Workers planned to gradually reduce northbound I-5 to one lane
for much of the night, with lane closures starting at 8 p.m.

The local gnus dweebs are shattered that there haven't in fact been 50
mile back-ups and dozens killed in road rage incidents. But there is
still time... ;^)


We don't have much road rage here either, but
what there is usually involves gunplay. Bubbas in
pickup trucks (complete with the obligatory gunrack)
and dudes from the 'hood are a combustable mix.


Worst traffic on the planet, bar none. Every time I
go back there I remember why I left there........

But... we named a road for you and everything!


How very nice of ya'll. I will have to look it up
on my next visit.

Well... as long as they don't shoot ~too~ wildly at each other, the end
results can be a net positive for society...

It's even an arterial! Up in north Seaddled, west of the "free"way:



Cool. I used to live on Spruce St, downwind
of Harborview Hospital. Technically First Hill,
but what with all the hospitals "Pill Hill" was
more accurate. And probably still is.......

Yup. But Harborview is still one of the best places in the world to have
a really traumatic heart attack at. Not that I've tried it...
