Drivers on State Route 105 west of Raymond have been using a temporary detour to get around bridge work at Norris Slough since May. This week they’ll encounter 10-minute closures of the detour route while crews set girders for the new Norris Slough bridge.
Starting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10, crews will close the temporary detour while a crane lifts six concrete girders into place on the new bridge. Drivers can expect closures and delays to last until 1 p.m.
After the girders are set in place, crews will install mats made of reinforcing steel and start pouring concrete to form the bridge deck.
The SR 105 Norris Slough Bridge Replacement project replaces an undersized culvert with a new 87-foot-long, 34-foot-wide concrete bridge. The bridge will help enhance driver safety on SR 105 and improve fish passage to and from Willapa Bay.
The $2.3 million project is funded through federal and state highway improvement funds, and scheduled for completion this fall.
