Travelers who use the State Route 104 Hood Canal Bridge between Jefferson and Kitsap counties will want to plan additional travel time each weekday through April 26.
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) bridge preservation crews are conducting an in-depth inspection of the bridge which requires opening the draw span twice daily for up to an hour. During each opening, the bridge is closed to all traffic.
Crews are closing the span to traffic around 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. each day. The exact time varies depending on work progress.
The inspection includes an overall assessment of the bridge’s mechanical and electrical systems. All WSDOT floating bridges undergo similar inspections according to a WSDOT press release.
The inspections require daylight to see inside tight spaces and get detailed observations on bridge components and operations. Travelers can get information about the Hood Canal Bridge via Washington State Department of Transportation email alerts, the WSDOT app, Hoodcanalbridge.com, and on the statewide travel map.
