Late-night closures of the Hood Canal Bridge continue this week

SHINE — Late-night closures of the Hood Canal Bridge continue this week so state transportation department crews can replace mechanical components of the bridge’s drawspan.

  • 11 p.m. Aug. 7 to 4 a.m., Aug. 8
  • 11 p.m., Aug. 8 to 4 a.m., Aug. 9
  • 11 p.m., Aug. 9 to 4 a.m., Aug. 10.

The work being done is weather- and tide-dependent, and the schedules may be adjusted accordingly, officials said. During each timeframe, crews will open the bridge to traffic several times to ease congestion. The traffic openings will be unscheduled and performed as workloads allow.
