Work on Deception Pass Bridge was completed ahead of schedule, allowing the bridge to reopen Wednesday night.

Previous plans had scheduled nighttime closure of the bridge through Friday evening. The Washington Department of Transportation reported that the paving work was completed two days ahead of schedule. Remaining work was to be completed at night, leading to single-lane closures from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday and Friday.

Old asphalt was removed, the exposed concrete bridge decks were inspected, bridge-expansion joints were evaluated, and the bridges were repaved.
