Bothell police have closed the 102nd Avenue Northeast Bridge in both directions following an incident where a truck struck the bridge, according to local authorities.
While the bridge over State Route 522 is shut down, SR 522 has been reduced to one lane in each direction while crews conduct an assessment of the structure.
Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes and expect delays in the area.
The driver involved in the incident pulled over and is cooperating with officers, police said.
The City of Bothell provided an update on Monday evening, informing travelers that the bridge would remain closed in the coming days, awaiting a detailed structural analysis.
SR 522 would remain down to one lane in each direction until further notice but was expected to reopen sometime on Monday night after Puget Sound Energy crews inspected and possibly made repairs.
