Road bridge inspections will be conducted at several locations on the Olympic National Forest later this month. An Under Bridge Inspection Truck (UBIT) will be used to examine selected bridges.

Bridges will be closed temporarily while the inspections are underway. Bridges will be opened approximately every 60 minutes during the inspection to allow for traffic low.  Plan alternate routes on the forest during inspections. Maps are available at forest front desks.
