Bridge Repairs On Highway 109 Continues Today

Drivers should plan for extra time because until further notice, a 25-mph speed limit and one-way alternating traffic is in place approaching Grass Creek Bridge.

WSDOT is doing emergency bridge repairs starting today and will be reducing state route 109 between Hoquiam and Ocean Shore to one alternating lane while the repair work is being done.  Drivers should plan for extra time because until further notice, a 25-mph speed limit and one-way alternating traffic is in place approaching Grass Creek Bridge.  During an in-depth inspection of the structure, Washington State Department of Transportation bridge inspectors found advanced deterioration of timber pilings under the southbound lane of the bridge. The southbound lane will remain closed around-the-clock as a precaution until repairs are developed and implemented. An update will be provided once a firm timetable is established.
