Bertha is slated to start digging again this Friday, April 29 meaning the viaduct will be closed for two weeks. Nearly 90,000 vehicles and 30,000 bus passengers that use the viaduct daily will be finding alternate routes through downtown Seattle. Drivers on other area roads can expect heavier traffic during this time, but that’s not the only byproduct of the closure that is to be expected. Parking on select roads surrounding the viaduct will be closed to allow for more capacity on those streets. Start preparing now and brace for traffic hell.
