Friday Evening Commute Wrap-up

AT 7:35 PM Metro’s Friday evening commute has ended with
no significant delays or disruptions to report.

The earlier accident on Aurora Av has been cleared and all routes
have returned to normal service

A 5-month construction project in the 4th avenue
corridor in Downtown Seattle has some bus stops closed
and some transit service rerouted. When traffic is
heavy, there can also be delays in this area. See how
your bus may be affected.

Thanks for joining us today.  We will return at 6:00 AM
on Monday to help keep an Eye on Your Metro Commute.

Travel safely and have a great weekend.
