WSDOT needs help from travelers

• Add extra travel time to help prevent delays especially for those traveling to the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal.
• Consider postponing discretionary trips.
• Travel early in the morning or later in the afternoon.

Crews use a special truck with a large mechanical arm to reach through, over and under the bridge. This specialized equipment can only be used during daylight hours.
Annual bridge cleaning helps keep the span in good working order.
More information about how the bridge is cleaned and maintained is available on the WSDOT website.
