Travel Advisory
Skagit County Travel Updates
There is a travel advisory impacting travel across the SR 536 Skagit River Bridge in Mount Vernon. Several alternate routes are available for travelers impacted by this year-long construction project. More information is available below.
Skagit River Bridge
Due to maintenance and painting, travelers will experience a full eastbound closure of SR 536 over the bridge, with the exception of emergency vehicles. All eastbound passenger and freight vehicles must follow a signed detour using northbound Avon Allen Road, eastbound SR 20 and southbound I-5.
Pedestrian Access & Shuttle: The bridge will remain open to pedestrian and bicyclist traffic. A free shuttle service will be available for pedestrians and bicyclists who wish to cross during the full closures of the bridge. Pick-up and drop-off points will be located near both ends of the bridge.
Westbound Traffic: During this project, the westbound lanes will experience several full closures at night and on select weekends. While these full closures are in effect, a signed detour will be in place for westbound drivers. Access to the bridge for emergency response vehicles will be maintained through these closures.
