An e-mail and text message service that alerts motorists of Hood Canal Bridge openings is now available. Those who subscribe receive a brief electronic message that lets them know when they’ll be delayed due to a marine opening or a traffic-impacting incident on the bridge.

The alerts provide an estimated road-closure duration. The service does not alert subscribers when the bridge reopens to vehicular traffic.

To subscribe, click here, or visit the WSDOT Web site, click on “E-mail updates” in the upper right-hand corner, type in your e-mail address, then click on “Hood Canal Bridge Alerts,” one of several WSDOT e-mail and text alert services.
