SHINE — Five-hour closures — interrupted several times to ease congestion— are planned for the Hood Canal Bridge overnight each night through Saturday.
Closures will be from 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. the next morning. They are scheduled for tonight, Friday night and Saturday night.
A similar closure was in effect Wednesday night and this morning.
Crews will open the bridge to traffic several times during the closures. The traffic openings will be unscheduled and performed as workloads allow.
Depending on work progress, additional night closures may be scheduled.
The closure could mean that delivery of the Peninsula Daily News is delayed. The newspaper is printed in Everett and brought back over the bridge in the early morning hours.
The closures allow crews to continue a project to replace mechanical components of the bridge.
