In what types of weather does WSDOT close the SR 104 Hood Canal Bridge to traffic?
During inclement weather, WSDOT may close the bridge to traffic when there is water over the roadway or when high winds are sustained. The decision to close the bridge is based on strength, intensity and direction of the wind as well as the tidal conditions. Closing the Hood Canal Bridge to traffic in such instances helps reduce the potential for hazards.
