Chelan County Public Works announced Monday that the West Cashmere Bridge will close on May 4th and remain closed until the new bridge is installed and ready for traffic in 2021.

A portion of Goodwin Road will also be closed.

Drivers who use the bridge should plan to take other routes to Cashmere or US Highway 2 such as Stine Hill Road near Dryden or Aplets Way in Cashmere.

News and updates on the project will be posted on the Chelan County Public Works website.

The construction is expected to be done by the fall next year.
