Expect night lane closures on westbound Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Drivers may encounter delays during overnight double- and triple-lane closures scheduled for the westbound State Route 16 Tacoma Narrows Bridge. 

Lane closure schedule 
• At 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, Sept. 28-Oct. 1, crews will close the two left westbound lanes across the bridge. At 10 p.m. each night, they will close a third westbound lane. One westbound lane will remain open to motorists. 
• All lanes will reopen at 9 a.m. each following morning. 

The lane closures will allow workers to replace equipment that allows Washington State Department of Transportation crews to maintain areas under the bridge span. 

The work is weather dependent and could be rescheduled. Eastbound SR 16 lanes will not be affected.
