One bridge is in Graham and the other is in Buckley.
The Graham bridge is situated east of 41st Avenue East and crosses South Creek on 304th Street East.
The Buckley bridge is south of 278th Avenue East and crosses the Puget Sound Energy Canal on Sumner-Buckley Highway East.
Both bridges will be closed for resurfacing.
