SHINE — The Hood Canal Bridge will be closed between 10 tonight and 4 a.m. Wednesday, the state Department of Transportation announced Monday.
During the six-hour time frame, crews will open the bridge to traffic several times to ease congestion.
The traffic openings will be unscheduled and performed as workloads allow, according to a press release.
The bridge was also closed overnight Monday into Tuesday.
Contractor crews are replacing the Hood Canal Bridge’s gear boxes, 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.
