As the city continues to mull what to do about the West Seattle Bridge, it's now considering reducing vehicle capacity on West Marginal Way.

King County Metro is preparing to start charging fares again, with new service changes going into effect over the weekend.

We should know in just over a month whether the West Seattle Bridge will be replaced or repaired, with the city weighing the risks and costs.

Toll roads in Washington are still seeing 29% less use year over year, but that's a vast improvement over what we saw when shutdowns began.

Drivers need a plan to get around the region this weekend due to some major overnight closures on I-5 and an extended closure on Highway 203.

Both directions of I-5 will be closed Friday and Saturday nights between Highway 18 in Federal Way and 54th Avenue in Fife, a 4.5 mile stretch.

There are a lot more cars on the road. The congestion has returned to the usual spots, and traffic numbers are returning to pre-COVID levels.

After 10 years of bitter debate and three years of construction, Bellevue's light rail tunnel is finished, at least the tunnel portion.

Your options to cross Lake Washington will be limited this weekend. The state is closing the SR 520 bridge for another step in the construction project.

We are still waiting to find out if the city is going to replace or repair the West Seattle Bridge, but the bills for the current work are coming due.
