Bridge inspections will take place on several Forest Service roads in Olympic National Forest starting this week.
An under-bridge inspection truck will be used to examine selected bridges, which will be closed temporarily during the inspections, according to a press release from the Forest Service.
Bridges will be opened about every hour during the inspection to allow for traffic flow, but drivers should expect delays and plan alternate routes during inspections, the press release stated.
