The on ramp from 1st Avenue South to the Spokane Street Viaduct is now closed for 16 months. Most traffic seemed orderly and continued south on 1st Avenue like this truck, pictured, while some commuters hit the breaks and looked puzzled as they neared the now barricaded ramp.
The on-ramp from 1st Avenue South to the Spokane Street Viaduct is now closed for 16 months as part of the improvements to the Viaduct. The South Spokane Street Viaduct Project crews closed the westbound 1st Ave S on-ramp and prepare it for demolition. This will precede work to widen the upper roadway 41 feet to the north, and build a new on and off-ramp along 1st Ave S.
