SR 72 Stickney Point Bridge: Bridge maintenance: Starting in June, crews will begin work on the bridge improvement project to extend the bridge's service life and operational reliability, while mitigating the effects of the harsh coastal environment, severe weather, and wear from the volume of vehicle and marine traffic. The project duration is expected to be 200 days.
- Residents, businesses, marinas, and mariners should expect construction equipment, barges and noise.
- Marine traffic should be mostly unaffected, although barges will be in the water so crews can work underneath the bridge.
- Residents near the bridge can expect noise from equipment.
- Boat traffic will be maintained during the project and bridge openings remain on a by request basis. If a vessel requires both panels be raised to navigate through, a reservation is required.
- Initial work is under the bridge so there are no immediate scheduled lane closures.
- When temporary lane closures are needed, advance notice will be provided so motorists can use the alternate north bridge or add additional travel time.
- Bicyclists and pedestrians will still have access to cross the bridge.
- Upper deck work, requiring lane closures, will be done in abbreviated 48-hour work cycles once a week.
- At this time, there are no weekend lane closures expected.
- 4th of July Holiday Week: There are no expected or scheduled lane closures for the Stickney Point Bridge Improvement Project. Increased boat traffic during the holiday may require bridge openings periodically.
