Metro’s Thursday afternoon commute wrap-up. Traffic flow is begging to subside, with no significant disruption or traffic congestion issues on 1 Av S and 4 Av S in the SODO district, due to the closure of the Alaskan Way Viaduct. There is congestion on northbound I-5 between S Albro Pl and downtown Seattle. Continue to expect some delays in service along these corridors.
Reroutes for the 11 buses which use the viaduct are in effect. If your bus normally uses the viaduct, remember to board your bus on southbound 3rd Av and not on Columbia St.
Even if your bus doesn’t use the viaduct, later on in the morning commute you may experience delays in service due to traffic volumes on Aurora Av, I-5 and local roads. Traffic congestion on the north end of the viaduct is likely to cause specific delays for Metro bus routes 5, 15, 16, 18, 26 Express, 28 Express and 358.
