The paving project from Frostad Road to Sharpes corner begins Monday, June 8 and will include five nights of full closures for Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges in mid-July or August.

The project is expected create substantial traffic delays as contractor crews repave four sections along the highway for the state Department of Transportation.

Workers will begin at Frostad Road 8 p.m. Monday, June 8, and work their way north.

They will work their way north, completing the paving work on the roadway sections before tackling the two bridges. Crews will grind off about two inches of pavement.

Precise dates of the overnight closures won’t be set until 10 days before the bridge paving begins, which will be the final leg of the project. The 10-hour closures will occur Sunday night through Friday morning, from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.

The bridges will be open for all traffic 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on those days.
