SHINE – Daytime travelers who use the State Route 104 Hood Canal Bridge between Jefferson and Kitsap counties should plan ahead.

The work requires two closures each weekday.

- 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, April 20-24.
Each closure will last up to 60 minutes. Every effort will be made to keep closures as short as possible.
There may be additional bridge closures unrelated to inspections. Crews will combine closures for inspections and marine traffic as schedules allow.

What is happening
The WSDOT Bridge Preservation Office is conducting inspections at the SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge. During the inspections engineers will assess the bridge’s mechanical and electrical systems. All WSDOT floating bridges undergo similar inspections.
The inspections require crews to open the draw spans of the bridge. The work is performed during the day so engineers can see in tight spaces to get detailed observations of bridge components and operations.
