The Washington State Department of Transportation is making repairs to the Hood Canal Bridge, causing overnight closures through May and June.

Instead of four long-term weekend closures of the bridge, WSDOT decided to separate the work into phases.

Emergency access will not be available during the closures, but with WSDOT’s previous plan to hold long-term weekend closures, officials say this solution will strike a better balance.

Crews will be working on restoring the pyramids on the bridge that help guide the two halves of the bridge together. Boats and cranes will need to be in the water with the draw span open during the repairs.

Weather permitting, the SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge will close in May and June at night for the following durations:

May 20 to May 24

  • 11 p.m. Monday, May 22, to 4 a.m. Tuesday, May 23

  • 11 p.m. Tuesday, May 23, to 4 a.m. Wednesday, May 24

  • 11 p.m. Wednesday, May 24, to 4 a.m. Thursday, May 25

June 10 to June 14

  • 10 p.m. Saturday, June 10, to 10 a.m. Sunday, June 11

  • 11 p.m. Monday, June 12, to 4 a.m. Tuesday, June 13

  • 11 p.m. Tuesday, June 13, to 4 a.m. Wednesday, June 14

  • 11 p.m. Wednesday, June 14, to 4 a.m. Thursday, June 15
