Summary
The Washington State Department of Transportation will begin repainting the Division Street Bridge in May; the bridge will be reduced to one westbound lane during construction while emergency vehicles retain access in both directions. The project is expected to continue through March 2027; detour and pedestrian/bike details are on WSDOT's webpage.
The Washington State Department of Transportation will begin repainting the Division Street Bridge in May to protect and preserve the structure, the announcement said. During construction, the bridge will be reduced to a single lane for westbound traffic, though emergency vehicles will be permitted to use the bridge in both directions as needed.
WSDOT said the lane configuration is intended to maintain westbound traffic flow while allowing emergency responders to cross in either direction when necessary. Officials warned that the lane closure will affect travel in the community and encouraged residents to continue supporting downtown and Westside businesses during the work.
For details on detours and guidance for people walking or biking, the announcement directed the public to WSDOT's Skagit River Bridge repainting webpage. The agency said the project is expected to last until March 2027.
The announcement did not provide funding amounts, specific contractor names, or precise daily work hours. Those details and maps of detour routes were referred to the WSDOT project webpage for the Skagit River bridge repainting.
