The Washington State Department of Transportation is advising drivers who use the Highway 104 Hood Canal Bridge to plan ahead for this week’s drawspan openings.

Repairs will require weekday afternoon drawspan openings that close the bridge to vehicular traffic. The openings will allow crews to make needed electrical repairs to the bridge.

Between the hours of 2:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. each Monday through Thursday through Nov. 6, drivers can expect delays when crossing the Highway 104 Hood Canal Bridge.

Drawspan openings could cause delays of up to 20 minutes.
