The SR 536 Skagit River Bridge is closed to eastbound traffic until early 2027 for repainting, according to WSDOT. Eastbound drivers must detour using eastbound SR 20 and southbound I-5. The bridge remains open for westbound traffic, pedestrians, bicycles, and emergency vehicles.
The project webpage states the closure began June 5, 2026. A free ADA-compliant shuttle will operate for pedestrians and bicyclists when the sidewalk closes between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily starting July 28. The bridge repainting project is scheduled to continue through early 2027.
