Hood Canal Bridge closing, are
you making plans?
The Hood Canal Bridge retrofit and replacement
project will improve the existing structure, making it wider, safer and
more reliable. The bridge will close for six weeks during May-June 2009 to
allow WSDOT and contractors from Kiewit-General to remove and replace its
eastern half. For more information, visit
http://www.hoodcanalbridge.com/.
