SHINE — The state Transportation Department says the Hood Canal floating bridge will be closed to drivers intermittently from now through October in the overnight hours.

Motorists could be delayed up to 90 minutes for testing.

Since the bridge reopened in June with a new east half, more than 100 employees have been working on a $20 million contract to upgrade electrical and mechanical systems, the department said.
