ASTORIA – The New Youngs Bay Bridge on U.S. 101 between Astoria and Warrenton will be closed Sunday and Monday nights for maintenance of the drawbridge cables.

Both northbound and southbound U.S. 101 will be closed at the bridge between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday and Monday nights, with reopening expected Tuesday morning, March 7. This closure is necessary for drawbridge cable maintenance, routine repairs and inspection.

A detour will be available on U.S. 101B for passenger vehicles during the closure hours.
