SEATTLE - One of the main links between Seattle, the Olympic peninsula, and several island communities in western Washington will experience periodic closures this week. The Hood Canal Bridge was first opened in 1961.
What's next:
From Apr. 20–24, the floating bridge will be closed to traffic with 60-minute delays, so crews can safely conduct a series of inspections. The closures will be in effect during the following times.
