The downtown Seattle bus tunnel is closed for the night and may not be open for Tuesday's commute because of a failure of the computer system that controls tunnel operations.
Transit officials are asking riders to check the metro transit Web site after 4 a.m. Tuesday morning to see if the tunnel will be open. The Web site is www.kingcounty.gov/metro. Riders should check timetables online under the heading "When the tunnel is closed," which is the same routing buses use on nights and weekends.
All of the systems in the tunnel — such as ventilation, lighting and signals — are controlled by a computer system installed during the recent retrofit of the tunnel. Sound Transit is responsible for that system, and is trying to fix it, a Sound Transit spokesman said.
