Hey-oh! So westbound I-90 closure began yesterday on the floating bridge and it'll remain two lanes until July 20, which WSDOT is quick to point out is a whole week ahead of schedule. Drivers are being funneled into the express lanes for the duration of the project, which is to replace the expansion joints. more ›

You won't be able to gaze wistfully seaward from the Fremont Bridge this Wednesday, Thursday, and half of Friday. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is closing the west sidewalk of the Fremont Bridge (from Nickerson Street to N 34th Street) beginning at 9 a.m. Wednesday, June 10, and reopening it at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, June 12. They're replacing concrete panels in the bridge sidewalk. You will be able to cross on the eastern sidewalk, and we encourage you to bring a camera for photos of spandex-clad cyclists colliding at high speed because that would warm our little peach pit of a heart. Freaking maniacs. It's a sidewalk. Slow down. more ›

Construction alert! We've got it all right here. more ›

Then again, isn't that what they always say? The Washington State Department of Transportation claims that the most recent repairs have stopped the so-called settling of the viaduct. (They call it settling because it sounds much nicer and considerably less alarming than "sinking.") more ›

Engineers will be filling the easily-laughed-at but fiercely-protected monorail with kegs. A keg party on the monorail--sounds promising or at the very least, nauseating. Getting drunk on a monorail that goes nowhere--it could be the hippest new theme bar or some tragic Seattle metaphor. Sadly, it is neither. more ›

We apologize, Greg. We got a little hot under the collar last week, after hitting one pothole too many, and we became...intemperate. The Pothole Rangers are not hiding out; they're working hard and filling potholes whenever you notify them. This weekend we were biking along, ready to dodge this one (pictured), when we were startled to see it had been filled, just three days after our post about it. Point for Mayor Nickels and the transportation crew. Our high-mileage 1970s 3-speed thanks you. more ›
