VANTAGE — Work on the Vantage Bridge is expected to lead to delays – maybe long delays – especially on busy summer weekends. As a result the Washington Department of Transportation is suggesting that drivers look for alternative routes on those busy weekends.
The $79 million project will repair the bridge deck, which has shown signs of deterioration. Work is scheduled for spring, summer and fall through 2027. Cost of the project is about $79 million.
Megan Lott, DOT public information officer for the South Central region, said travelers should prepare for longer trips, no matter what route they take.
