Hood Canal bridge adds cameras

Drivers crossing the state Route 104 Hood Canal bridge will have new online tools to plan and "know before you go" this fall.

Cameras have been installed at nine locations approaching the Hood Canal bridge.

The online cameras will be on WSDOT’s website in October to provide real-time travel information and allow drivers to check traffic backups related to bridge openings.

The project also includes two new highway advisory radio transmitters and signs at the state Route 3 and state Route 305 interchange and on state Route 3 at Pioneer Hill Road NW.
