SHINE — Tonight’s scheduled closure of the Hood Canal Bridge has been canceled.
Additional night closures — which have been from 11 p.m.to 4 a.m. — will occur during next week, the state Department of Transporation said.
“Those closures will be announced as they are scheduled,” Transportation officials said in a press release.
During each five-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.
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 draw span for marine traffic.
Transportation awarded the $5.2 million project to Northbank Civil and Marine Inc. in October.
