Improving weather conditions are allowing resumption of a rehabilitation project that began last year on the State Route 104/Hood Canal Bridge.Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will continue preparatory efforts that will ultimately replace worn mechanical components that operate the bridge drawspan.

During this phase of the project, drivers can expect up to seven nights of intermittent bridge closures to traffic during the following hours:

• 10 p.m. Wednesday, April 4 and Thursday, April 5, until 4 a.m. each following day.

• 10 p.m. Friday, April 6, until 7 a.m. Saturday, April 7

• 10 p.m. Saturday, April 7, until 7 a.m. Sunday, April 8

• 10 p.m. Sunday, April 8, until 4 a.m. Monday, April 9

• 10 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, April 9-10, until 4 a.m. each following day

During those work hours, crews will occasionally open the bridge to traffic to ease congestion. The traffic openings will be unscheduled and performed as workloads allow.
