UPDATE 4: Northbound SR 99 tunnel is back open
UPDATE 3: The southbound SR 99 tunnel is back open with power restored to our ventilation systems. Crews are working to reopen northbound SR 99 tunnel momentarily.
UPDATE 2: The SR 99 tunnel in Seattle remains closed due to a power outage. The outage affects the ventilation system so the tunnel must remain fully closed until power is restored. Continue to expect delays and seek alternate routes. @seacitylight.bsky.social is working to restore power.
