Project overview
Crews will upgrade and replace key elements of the SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge. The construction bolsters systems that guide the bridge together and keep both halves of the bridge connected.
What to expect
SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge will be closed 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. most weeknights between May 13 and June 10
Instead of long-term weekend closures of the bridge, WSDOT made the decision to separate the work into phases. This means the bridge will be closed overnight 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., mostly on weeknights. The bridge will be open to traffic Memorial Day weekend.
The bridge will close at 10 p.m. on each of the following dates. It will reopen at 5 a.m. each following morning.
- Monday, May 13 through Saturday, May 18
- Monday, May 20 through Thursday, May 23
- Tuesday, May 28 through Friday, May 31
- Monday, June 3 through Saturday, June 8
- Monday, June 10
Closures require good weather and calm tides, so they may be rescheduled.
Daytime center lock work
In addition to the nighttime closures, crews will work during the day on the bridge's locking mechanism. The bridge will remain open to traffic during this work. It does require short 30 to 40-minute test openings during weekday daytime hours. This is about as long as a typical inspection opening.
These test openings are scheduled for some time between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 6-7, May 24, May 28-29 and June 14.
