By Daniel Brooks ·

The bridge work on the Skagit River Bridge is expected to finish two weeks earlier than planned. The bridge will be closed to both directions of non-emergency vehicle traffic starting on Sunday, November 1st. The full closure of the bridge is expected to last about two weeks, provided the weather cooperates. The bridge was built in 1953 and was last painted in 1990. The bridge needed this important preservation work to extend its service life. The original plan to repaint and preserve the bridge was expected to last until early 2027. The contractor has made steady progress on the bridge work. Emergency responders will still be able to use the bridge in both directions. People walking or biking will still have access to the bridge in both directions.
