Smooth driving
The work to make permanent repairs at the Anderson Creek Bridge on U.S. 2 between Gold Bar and Index has been postponed until further notice.
There were scheduling conflicts with Razz Construction of Bellingham.
The project’s new dates could be available next week, said Bronlea Mishler, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.
