Good to know
WSDOT announced a series of overnight closures for emergent repair work on the State Route 104 Hood Canal Bridge.
The schedule is as follows:
• 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21 to 5:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 22
• 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 22 to 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23
• 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23 to 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24
• 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24 to 5:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 25
• 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 25 to 5:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 26
The closures are needed repair dents in the steel track on the westbound span. During the closures, the contractor will straighten and weld the steel track to remove the dents so that the drawspan aligns properly. The work must be performed before the next storm season to keep the bridge functioning.
During work hours, the bridge will close to all traffic, including emergency vehicles. This is because the draw spans must be separated to expose the steel track during the work.
The work hours are necessary to complete the work and also to get the bridge to the point where it’s operational each morning following the night work.
This work is an emergent repair and not part of a planned project on the bridge.
