This is a main route where Metro has been re-routing buses from downtown to the SODO light rail station during the Alaskan Viaduct closure.
A second arm malfunctioned near South Spokane Street.
UPDATE: S Spokane St gates down also @BNSFRailway enroute to address. Detour: S Holgate St crossing is open! pic.twitter.com/LrX8XQbuTG
