More Hood Canal Bridge closures set Friday, Monday

SHINE — The Hood Canal Bridge will close intermittently between 11 p.m. Thursday and 4 a.m. Friday, 11 p.m. Friday and 4 a.m. Saturday, and 11 p.m. Monday and 4 a.m. Tuesday for construction work.

Crews working for the state Department of Transportation will open the bridge to traffic several times to ease congestion. The traffic openings will be unscheduled and performed as workloads allow.

The closure could mean that delivery of the Peninsula Daily News will be delayed. The newspaper is printed in Everett and brought back over the bridge in the early morning hours.

Contractor crews are replacing the Hood Canal Bridge’s gear boxes and hydraulic hoses, and adjusting and aligning the guide rollers that are responsible for operating the drawspan for marine traffic.

Transportation awarded the $5.2 million project to Northbank Civil and Marine Inc. in October. Work is expected to be completed this fall.
