Via-doom, the Seattle Squeeze, whatever you're calling it: Getting around Seattle is going to be a lot different after Friday, when the Alaskan Way Viaduct closes down for good. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan spoke with KUOW’s Angela King about what to expect.

Durkan: This is the last Monday that there will be a viaduct. We have over 90,000 cars taking Highway 99 and it's going to be gone. And that's going to put pressure on everything else. So people have to change how they get to work. King: Getting to work on time, picking up their kids on time, just getting around in general: any suggestions? Durkan: We want to make sure that people can get where they need to get safely. We want to make sure that the police and fire can get through when they need to. So we need everyone to make a few changes in their life. The first is make a plan right now: Think about if your commute is going to be impacted, how are you going to change it? If you don't have to drive by yourself, please don't. We've added buses. We added a water taxi. We're having easier ways for people to get picked up and taken to transit. Talk to your boss if you can work a little bit different hours so you're not trying to come in right at the crunch time or even work from home. But we also know that no matter how much we plan and work things can go wrong. And so people really have got during this period of time to be kind to one another, to realize it's just going to be tough for a period of time.
