Some portions of the Canoe Pass and Deception Pass Bridges will have to be painted by hand, as you see here. There are three layers of paint: the primer, intermediate paint and final paint coat. Here a contractor is applying the intermediate coat. The final coat of paint will be the exact green color the bridges have always been. Sandblasting operations on the Deception Pass Bridge are scheduled to start in August 2020. The project is expected to be complete in fall 2021.

Starting in spring of 2019, WSDOT contractor crews will spend two years repainting and making repairs on Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges along State Route 20. Deception Pass State Park and all businesses in the area will remain open during construction. The painting work will be noisy and crews will tenting off sections of the bridge to keep paint and other debris contained. One sidewalk across the bridge will close for most of this work but access for vehicles and pedestrians will always be available.
