Bridge work

A contractor crew is installing new foundation for paving on the Puget Island bridge during night-time closures 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. County officials said Tuesday they have an agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to pay for ferry service during the closures so travelers aren't stranded, as happened Monday. To be added to the notification list, text the word: BRIDGE to 474747 or email your cell phone number to Beau Renfro at renfrob@co.wahkiakum.wa.us, or call 360-795-7876. The text option is preferred.
