Project overview

There's a lot of work that needs to be done to keep bridges in good working order. This includes regular cleaning and inspection of the Agate Pass Bridge. The bridge, on SR 305, connects Bainbridge Island to the Kitsap Peninsula. We clean the bridge every February to keep dirt and grime from building up and decreasing the life of the bridge. The work is coupled with inspections every other year.

What to expect

Travelers are encouraged to plan for eight days of significant daytime congestion approaching the State Route 305 Agate Pass Bridge. Starting Tuesday, Feb. 18, through Friday, Feb. 21, crews will perform annual cleaning at the bridge. Bridge crews will return Monday, Feb. 24, through Thursday, Feb. 27, to conduct inspections of the bridge. 

From 8:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. each work day, travelers can expect one-way alternating traffic and stops of up to 30 minutes in each direction approaching the bridge.  

Travelers will see law enforcement officers directing traffic at the intersection of SR 305 and Suquamish Way Northeast during the work.
