Happy Griffey is coming back day OR Happy Thursday if you're not a Mariner fan!! There was a little fog moving in and out of the DOT cameras in Eastgate this morning but other areas looked clear.

Here are the things that may have slowed you down Wednesday morning:

Fog Patrol: We were constantly checking the DOT cameras for fog. There was some patchy fog in Eastgate, Olympia, and Everett.

Alert: 405 northbound at Park Drive there was one vehicle on the shoulder around 6am and a couple of other cars stopped to assist the person. No traffic delays but it was a distraction.

Alert: There was quite a lot of overnight construction going on. I-5 at Albro to Spokane 3 lanes were blocked, 405 at Coal Creek Parkway, ramp closures through Bellevue, and SR 16 at Union. Bothell and Kenmore 522 was down to one lane. It was all wrapped up by 5am.

Alert: 3 cars involved in an accident at 4am on 167 to NB 405 not blocking.

Construction Alert: SR 16 - Eastbound lanes have shifted toward the median between Union Avenue and the Nalley Valley viaduct. The on- and off-ramps connecting Sprague Avenue and eastbound SR 16 are closed until 2011.

Construction Alert: SR 526 at Casino Rd. There is one lane eastbound until 6am.

Construction Alert: SR-18 over Tiger Mountain Summit. Emergency repair work has lanes limited.

What do you need to know about construction?

This past weekend there was major closures on I-5 southbound through Downtown Seattle. We received an email from WSDOT at 1am Monday that all construction had been finished for the weekend. Watch out for more construction overnight and then throughout the coming weekend. I-5 northbound will be affected this time.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic of the two bridges and what you think about tolling one or both - E-mail Me!
