Posted

The State Route 104 Hood Canal Bridge is projected to close around 2 p.m. today, Wednesday, June 9.

According to Washington State Department of Transportation on twitter, the closure is to "make repairs after an apparent hit and run vehicle damaged a portion of the span overnight."

While crews make these emergency repairs, the bridge will close to all traffic. 

"It is unknown at this point when crews will be able to reopen the bridge, which links Kitsap and Jefferson counties," a recent press release read, stating crews hope to have the bridge reopened later this afternoon.

WSDOT will provide updates as they proceed.
