SHINE – Work scheduled tonight on the Hood Canal Bridge has been canceled due to predictions of inclement weather.
Work and closures scheduled Friday took take place as planned — from 10 Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday, drivers could expect intermittent closures of the bridge.
Saturday nights closures were canceled because of high wind forecast for the area. Rain is expected to extend through tonight.
During those hours, crews will occasionally open the bridge to traffic to ease congestion. The openings will be unscheduled and performed as workloads allow.
Weather permitting, crews will resume intermittent night closures from 10 p.m. Monday and Tuesday until 4 a.m. each following day.
The night work allows crews to continue progress on a project to replace mechanical systems that open and close the drawspan.
Transportation awarded the $5.2 million contract to Northbank Civil and Marine Inc.
