No Word On When Bridge On 109 Will Resume 2 Way Traffic

For safety reasons, that lane was shut down forcing alternating one way traffic on the northbound lane. 

There’s still no indication as to when the Grass Creek Bridge on 109 will return to two-way traffic.  According to WSDOT, a bridge inspection found that the timber supports underneath the southbound lane were severely deteriorated, and for safety reasons, that lane was shut down forcing alternating one way traffic on the northbound lane.  Since late May there has been a 25-mph speed limit approaching the bridge that runs between Hoquiam and Ocean Shores.  The state is still looking at repair options but so far there’s no word when work will start or how long it will take.
