Simpson Bridge Detour Coming On Monday

Another inspection from 9AM to 3PM.

Drivers who use the US 101 Simpson Avenue Bridge in Hoquiam will want to plan additional travel time this coming Monday. That’s because from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 14, the Simpson Avenue bridge will close to all traffic for a routine inspection. During the closure, the US 101 Riverside Bridge will be reconfigured to accommodate two-way traffic. Officials say the inspection requires daylight to see inside tight spaces and get detailed observations of bridge components and operations.
