It’s safe to say on Tuesday of the final week of Viadoom that Seattle commuters are on the home stretch.

What was expected to be a traffic nightmare for three weeks while the Alaskan Way Viaduct was closed, turned out to be more of a day dream filled with relatively smooth commutes. Tuesday was no different. Aside from some collisions that slowed traffic down, the commute was similar to the rest of the Seattle Squeeze — about an hour from Everett or Federal Way into Seattle via I-5.

Dry weather continued into the afternoon and evening commute, making for a relatively quiet journey home for most drivers.

MyNorthwest continues its coverage of Viadoom. The following are updates from the Tuesday’s commute, including reports from 成人X站 Radio Traffic Reporters Chris Sullivan and Tracy Taylor.

We're heading into a sunny evening commute! It's the perfect evening to try an alternate commute like biking or walking for part of your trip. Or, maybe you'll stay and play for a little while longer downtown. How are you switching it up during the ?

“West Seattle is just getting hammered today,” Sullivan said. “You’re just not moving from 35th, around the corner and over to I-5.”

“I-5 northbound is slammed because of the Alaskan Way Viaduct closure,” he said. “It’s 45 minutes to drive from Southcenter into Seattle.”

It’s an hour and 15 minutes between Everett and Bellevue, and it’s an hour from Everett to Seattle.

Northbound I-5 is a solid grind from Boeing Field into downtown Seattle. The drive from Southcenter into downtown is 50 minutes.

The West Seattle Bridge is a crawl with backups to Delridge Way. There may be a car fire on the exit to Columbian Way, Sullivan reports.

A six mile backup remains after an incident on southbound I-5 was cleared in the Marysville area. That is snarling traffic between Arlington and Everett.

On the I-5 northbound off-ramp to S Columbian Way there is an incident blocking the ramp.

CRASH UPDATE: Don’t forget! All lanes of SB I-5 @ SR 528 are temporarily closed for a collision investigation. Backups are already 4-miles and growing quickly. Delay your trip if possible or expect long delays.

A stall blocking southbound I-5 at the ship canal bridge has been cleared, but a four-mile backup remains. The southbound I-5 drive from Everett to Seattle is an hour and 10 minutes, with 53 of those minutes crawling from Lynnwood.

Sullivan notes that southbound SR99 through North Seattle is a viable option around slow I-5.

It’s an hour to drive north from Federal Way to Seattle, with 40 of those minutes from Southcenter. That’s 15 minutes slower than before the absence of the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

The West Seattle Bridge has now gotten to its usual morning crawl, backing up to Delridge Way.

The commute is filling in. It’s already 50 minutes traveling north from Federal Way to Seattle. The heaviest traffic slowdowns begin at Boeing Field in Seattle.

The southbound I-5 drive from Everett to Seattle is 40 minutes, with some slowing just south of the Everett Mall. Traffic slows down considerably around Lynnwood.

“The West Seattle Bridge is good for now,” Sullivan said. “That door usually closes in about 15 minutes.”

5:30 a.m.

Starting to see the slowing NB 5 from Albro into downtown. West Seattle Bridge is good.
