Traffic on Highway 305 is slimmed down to one lane at the Agate Pass Bridge Thursday as state maintenance crews clean the bridge.

The Washington State Department of Transportation is reminding travelers on 305 that bridge crews will return after President’s Day to finish up the annual clean-up project.

Beginning Tuesday, Feb. 20 through Friday March 2, drivers will encounter one-way alternating traffic from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, and from 7:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24 and Sunday, Feb. 25.

Approximately 9,200 vehicles cross the bridge during the daytime, and officials note that drivers can expect up to 30-minute delays during the bridge work.
